Last updated : 28 December 2003 By Mark Heys
Inter Milan defender Ivan Cordoba has stayed quiet on speculation linking him with a possible move to Bolton Wanderers when the transfer window opens next week.

The 27-year old Colombian international is a long time target of Trotters manager Sam Allardyce and would be seen as another coup for the club should they manage to secure his services.

The defender told Teletext "I have a contract until 2005 the club knows my situation"

Cordoba has also been linked to numerous clubs in Spain but it seems this will be the end of the matter for the moment anyway.

Meanwhile Cordoba's Inter team mate Carlos Gamarra has also been linked with a move to the Premiership club with a possible loan deal having been mentioned for the Paraguayan. Another target Javi Moreno is set to be offloaded by Athletico Madrid during the next month after the club confirmed they would be looking to sell the former Alaves striker.

Any deals would be dependant on whether Sam Allardyce can raise the funds to bring in new blood to the club. Already arriving is Jamaican international goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts however other fringe players could be sold to set up any incoming moves.
