Bolivar owner Marcelo Claure confirms that the Bolivian champions are interesting in coaxing David Beckham out of retirement and insists that it is a "possibility".

Bolivian champions Bolivar have confirmed that they are in talks to coax David Beckham out of retirement from football.

Bolivar owner and telecoms tycoon Marcelo Claure is currently working with Beckham on his plans to start an MLS franchise in Miami by 2015.

Claure is thought to be interested in signing the 38-year-old up to play in his side's Copa Libertadores campaign, which will see Bolivar face Flamengo of Brazil, Leon of Mexico and Ecuadorian side Emelec in South America's equivalent of the Champions League.

"[We] are doing everything possible, and David Beckham is a possibility," Claure is quoted as saying in La Razon.

Beckham retired from football at the end of last season following a brief stint with Paris Saint-Germain.
