Bolivian football club Bolivar has reportedly confirmed that they are trying to tempt England legend David Beckham to come out of retirement and play for them in a tournament.

The club's billionaire owner Marcelo Claure is a friend of the former England captain and is working with him to bring a new Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise to Miami in 2015

According to the Mirror, Claure has admitted that he and the club are doing everything possible to convince the former Manchester United star to play in the club's Copa Libertadores campaign.

Beckham retired from playing at the end of last season, after five months with Paris Saint-Germain, the report added.
