Trotters in hunt for Miguel

Bolton are resuming their bid to sign Portuguese midfielder Miguel Veloso, with their offer for a player who has slipped out of the reckoning in Carlos Queiroz's national squad likely to be around £9m. Bolton failed to meet Sporting's valuation in January for a player whose fall-out with his coach at Lisbon allowed former Middlesbrough midfielder Fabio Rochemback to edge him out of the side.

Roma are lining up a £5m bid for the Middlesbrough captain Emanuel Pogatetz. The Serie A club made an approach for the 26-year-old in April after watching him skipper Austria against Romania.

Dietmar Hamann, out of favour at Manchester City, is in talks with 1860 Munich, which would pave the way for a return to his native Germany, 11 years after he left Bayern Munich for Newcastle.
