Soccer: Sao Paulo eye Rivaldo

Brazilian soccer club Sao Paulo said yesterday that they were interested in bringing back 2002 World Cup winner Rivaldo to play in his homeland.

The 31-year-old striker, who is widely reported to be the target of several English premier league clubs, is searching for a new team after being released by AC Milan last week.

Sao Paulo's director of football Juvenal Juvencio told Brazilian television that he wanted to talk to Rivaldo, who played for the club's two biggest rivals, Palmeiras and Corinthians, earlier in his career.
