Usain Bolt's agent says that he has been offered an agreement with the sailors, the coach is not aware | sport

Usain Bolt agent Ricky Simms said the eight-time Olympic sprint gold medalist had received a contract offer from the Central Coast Mariners' A-League, but club manager Mike Mulvey did not know anything about it.

"In response to media reports, yes, Usain has seen a contract. I do not want to make any other comments at this point, "said Simms.

If that were the case, no one would have told Mulvey that, after the draw (1-1) conceded by his team against Brisbane Roar, had not only denied knowing of a contract offer, but had wondered if Bolt could be part of the team.

"You are looking at our front line today and wondering if it could occupy one of those positions, is not it?" Mulvey said. "I appreciate how important this story is to the rest of the world.

"You only talk about speculation, I do not know what you're talking about and that's the truth."

Bolt, who retired from athletics last year, has been training with the Mariners for several months and scored two goals during a test match there. at 10 days, at his first departure.

Mulvey, who said several weeks ago that it might be necessary to wait until January to determine if Bolt can succeed in professional football, added that the former sprinter was not in his radar for the moment.

"We're going back, having dinner, watching the game a little bit … then getting on a plane tomorrow, going home and getting ready for Melbourne City next week," he said. "It's the plan."
