Lincoln have not given up hope of re-signing Sergio Torres on loan and have tabled a bid to bring the Peterborough midfielder back to Sincil Bank.

The Argentinian returned to the Championship club on Monday following an impressive month-long stay with the Imps in which he made six appearances and scored one goal.

Posh chairman of football Barry Fry is happy for Torres to return to Lincoln - if the financial package suits his club. City`s contribution to the 25-year-old`s wages is thought to be the sticking point in any new deal.

However, Imps vice-chairman Bob Dorrian told the Lincolnshire Echo: "e have tabled a bid to bring Sergio back on loan, so the deal is not dead.

"This would be on a longer-term loan and Peterborough are still considering that offer."

Dorrian insists Lincoln have `other irons in the fire` should their attempt to re-sign Torres be unsuccessful.
