Come September, Colombia soccer legend Carlos Valderrama may be seen in action with Argentine great Diego Maradona in Kolkata to kick-off a football carnival less than a month before the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Having already confirmed Maradona's visit to the city on September 19-20, the organisers yesterday said they were now trying to bring Valderrama also.
"We are trying to rope him (Valderrama) in also. Talks have reached an advanced stage with him and his appearance fee and other details are being negotiated," Satadru Dutta, partner of 7d Ventures and Founder of Moksh Sports Ventures, the promoter of Maradona and Valderrama's trip said.
"He will be part of the charity match like Maradona and will play either with him or for Sourav (Ganguly)," Dutta added.
