Christian Vieri has flown to Brazil in order to sign for Boavista, ending his brief retirement, for $50,000 per month.
The former Inter, Milan and Fiorentina striker had announced he was hanging up his boots to become a professional poker player earlier this year.
However, website Globoesporte.com suggests Vieri touched down in Rio de Janeiro today in order to put pen to paper on a new contract.
Boavista are in the Brazilian third division and would be willing to pay a reported $50,000 per month for six months.
Within the deal are allegedly included a car with driver and a beach-side apartment.
