Jamaican Usain Bolt got the football world awake after he scored a brace in a preseason match for Australian club, Central Coast Mariners. Based on the promise he showed, there were reports that a European club wanted to sign him.
We can now confirm that the club is Malta-based Valletta FC, and they’re dead serious about making Bolt a deal.
According to Punch, negotiations are already in place to bring Bolt on board by December 13, when the club will be playing in the Maltese Super Cup final. 2018 makes it exactly 10 years since Bolt broke the world record in the 100 and 200 metres in Beijing.
So, winning the cup with Valletta will be another historic feat on its own for the world’s fastest man. Kwese ESPN reports that Valletta has won 24 Maltese Premier League titles, 14 Maltese FA Trophy titles and 11 Maltese Super Cup titles.
With this rate of success, they’re looking to reach the group stages of the Champions League in the future. By signing with them, Bolt will be increasing his chances of getting noticed by his dream club, Manchester United.
