Japan beckons for Mboma
Cameroon`s World Cup striker Patrick Mboma is expected to return to the J-League to play for Verdy.
The 2000 African Footballer of the Year is under contract to Libyan side Al Ittihad, where he is locked in a dispute over unpaid salaries.
Mboma dazzled fans in his first J-League spell with Gamba Osaka in 1997-1998, after moving from French club Paris Saint-Germain.
He scored 25 goals to become the J-League`s top scorer in 1997.
"We have not yet reached a stage where we can make a formal announcement about any deal with him, but we are almost there," said a Verdy official in Tokyo.
The Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported on Wednesday that 32-year-old Mboma, who helped Cameroon clinch the 2000 Olympic and African titles, reached a basic agreement with the club.
Mboma has subsequently had a nomadic existence in recent years.
He moved to Italian club Cagliari after a disappointing performance at the 1998 World Cup and switched to AC Parma in 2000.
But a run of poor form in the Calcio saw him being loaned to English Premiership side Sunderland last season, after which he made a surprise move to Libya.
Verdy said they would announce a formal deal with Mboma as soon as Fifa made a ruling on the Cameroonian`s financial dispute with Ittihad.
Verdy finished fourth in the second stage of last season`s 16-club first division and need a striker to fill the gap left by former Brazil forward Edmundo.
"I think Mboma`s return to Japan could be a very good move for Verdy," Sho Midoro, a journalist with the mass circulation Asahi Shimbun newspaper, told BBC Sport Online.
"He is still a player with a big reputation and a lot of popularity in Japan, after his achievements with Gamba Osaka."
