Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has confirmed Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt will train with the club.
Bolt, 30, revealed the news in an interview on Saturday in which he also reiterated his hope to play for Manchester United, the team he supports.
"We've decided this some time ago," Watzke told Sport Bild.
"Puma CEO Bjorn Gulden, who is a member of our board, has told us that
Usain is highly interested in practising with us. For us that's no
problem. Our coach Thomas Tuchel likes the idea as well.
"Of
course he won't visit us in an important week with Champions League
matches, but maybe in the preseason. We are delighted and take this as
an honour."
Bolt is a nine-time Olympic gold medallist having
competed in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 games, winning the 100 metres, 200
metres and 4x100m relay in each.
