Businessman Laurence Bassini had looked set to complete a takeover of the ailing club, already relegated to League One for next season, but that was thrown into doubt on Monday.
In an earlier statement, released on Saturday, Bolton accused Bassini of failing to keep his pledge that players and staff would be paid during the takeover process.
There are now reports Bassini will meet with EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey at some point on Tuesday to discuss his proposed takeover deal.
