"It's neither a joke nor a marketing measure, it's something that has been decided on for quite a while," Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told German sports magazine Kicker when asked about Bolt's intentions. Watzke added that he learned, "...a few weeks ago that Usain had asked if he could train with us; I said absolutely, no problem at all. Our coach (Thomas Tuchel) is also good with it."
A huge fan of the game, Usain Bolt may be about to test himself alongside Borussia Dortmund's finest.
It is well-known that the Jamaican sprinter is a passionate football fan and, despite now being 30, still harbours serious ambitions of playing professionally. Although he would not be drawn on Bolt's desires to sign for a top club, Watzke said that BVB would be delighted to entertain the Kingston-native at their Dortmund-Brackel training base.
"We wouldn't organise it during a period where we have a midweek game, of course, but perhaps during a preparatory phase or something like that," the CEO explained. "The team would no doubt think it a great idea too. We're looking forward to it, and it's an honour for us." A one-on-one sprint against Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be an intriguing prospect...

Known as "the fastest man on earth", Bolt is sponsored by German sports company  who also sponsors Borussia Dortmund.  According to Dortmund CEO , Puma CEO Bjørn Gulden informed the club of Usain's interest in practising with them.

In remarks to magazine '''', Watzke said this was "neither a joke nor a marketing measure". He did say, "We wouldn't organise it during a period where we have a midweek game, of course, but perhaps during a preparatory phase or something like that". Watzke said BVB coach  is agreeable with the idea, but the club hasn't suggested offering the Jamaican a contract.

Taking about a chance to play for his favoured club, Bolt said, "For me, if I could get to play for Manchester United, that would be like a dream come true. Yes, that would be epic."

Bolt won three Olympics gold medals in this year's Olympics edition in Rio de Janeiro. Bolt has indicated he means to retire from athletics after next year's World Championships scheduled to be hosted in London in August.
