Dreams of becoming a professional footballer in Australia is off the table for Usain Bolt.
The world’s fastest man has officially turned down an offer from Central Coast Mariners. Despite being so close to having a dream fulfilled, the 8x Olympic champion wasn’t feeling the reported $150,000 offer made by the A-League team. His eyes were more set towards a $3m deal.
“Despite the fact that we could not come to an agreement that would continue Usain Bolt’s football journey with the Central Coast Mariners, we’ve been thrilled to have the Olympic champion sprinter and world record holder as part of our club for these past eight weeks,” Central Coast Mariners owner, Mike Charlesworth, said. “For the Mariners, it’s been a pleasure to work with Usain as he pursued his desire to become a professional football player.”
