Bolt to Borussia Dortmund? Watzke: “It is not a joke”

It seemed as though it could be a marketing gimmick, but The Guardian is speaking about a possible Usain Bolt acquisition as though it is not completely absurd. For now, to be clear, there exists nothing too serious, but the German club does intend to welcome the famed Olympian. The CEO of Puma, the company which sponsors both entities, appears to be a key motivating force. “Maybe not in a week filled with obligations, but in a period of preparation, why not,” stated Thomas Tuchel. Among the many forthcoming activities there also appears to be a competition of speed between Bolt and Aubameyang on the schedule.

The date has not yet been set. “It is not a joke – claimed the Dortmund sports director to Kicker magazine – Usain asked if he could train with us, and I stated that this would not be a problem. We will then see what happens.” As a Manchester United fan, Bolt has always expressed his desire to become a professional football player. Today, at 30 years of age, Borussia Dortmund – who knows if for real – is possibly giving him an opportunity.
