Wanderers are still waiting on a deal to sign Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing.
It is hoped a deal to bring the 23-year-old to the Reebok will be tied up before transfer deadline day on Friday to enable him to be part of the squad travelling to Hull City for the next Championship game.
But contrary to reports, The Bolton News understands that a fee has not yet been agreed between the two clubs.
Wanderers at first wanted Spearing on a season long loan but Liverpool – looking to raise cash for their own signings – demanded £4million.
That fee has now been reduced to £3m, although Wanderers are yet to confirm they will pay the revised price.
Championship rivals Wolves have also been reported as a possible destination for the Wirral-born ball-winner.
