Reports said that, eight-time Olympic sprint champion, Usain Bolt has been offered a two-year contract from an unnamed club in Europe.
 
Bolt, captured worldwide attention when he scored two goals for Central Coast Mariners of Australia’s A-League in their friendly against Macarthur South West United.
 
Agent Tony Rallis, who is representing Bolt while he is in Australia, told ESPN: “There is a club in Europe that has offered Bolt a two-year deal, they have been taken over by new owners who have aspirations of Champions League football.”
According to reports from ESPN, while the proposed European club remains a mystery, the Mariners already have international connections with Sao Paulo in Brazil, Sheffield United in England and Ferencvaros in Hungary.
The Mariners also name English Premier League side Everton as a player development partner and have a similar partnership with Maltese Premier League side Balzan FC.
Serbian striker Andrija Majdevac, who plays for Balzan, has trained alongside Bolt with the Mariners and featured alongside him in Bolt’s first match with a professional side against a Central Coast XI select team in late August.
Bolt, who retired from track and field in 2017, has previously trained with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and has made no secret of his desire to play professional football.
 
Central Coast Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp told ESPN after Bolt’s two-goal show against Macarthur that “it’s too early to tell” whether the 32-year-old would earn a playing contract at the club.
