Any guesses which club? I'm interested to see whether he actually ends up playing, or if he just participates in training and warms the bench, coming on in the waning minutes to smoke some defenders and hopefully score.

first Tebow to baseball and now this garbage publicity stunt?
Hm looks like I mistyped my original post. Essentially interested to see whether he actually plays, or yeah, as the poster above indicated - it's just a publicity stunt for whatever football club that it is.
says he has agreed to sign for a football club.
Well, has the football club agreed to sign him?

Impossible! Soccer players run 10,000 meters every match. No way can Bolt keep up.
I can't see him break up with Puma after all these years.
There aren't too many interesting Puma-sponsored soccer clubs out there. Among the few, the more interesting are:
- Arsenal F.C.
- Leicester F.C.
- Borussia Dortmund
- A.C. Milan
Leicester and Dortmund don't have the appeal that London and Milan have for a guy like him. That said, I see language as a barrier in Italy.
Therefore, through elimination, my money is on Arsenal F.C.
I’m Thinking Dortmund tbh
5,000*
Minnesota United.
They are an expansion team and looking for players. Might not get as munch money, but he'd see more playing time. He doesn't need the money, anyway.

He doesn't need to break up with Puma to go to a club with another shirt sponser. Many footballers have different boot sponsers from their club's kit sponser. I highly doubt he'll go to a big club like Arsenal (even if they are a bit s**t at the moment), his level would be way below this.
Going to be a huge story, but I've heard that Big Baller Brand is starting a football club and has signed Bolt away from Puma.
Maybe he'll play in Beckham's Miami "league"?

You're such a "Big Fan" yet didn't realize they were an expansion team last year in MLS. Not this year.
I can't see him going to Miami, even with Beckham. They aren't scheduled to start playing until 2020, so you're talking about 2 years before he would play in a meaningful game. While this would give him plenty of time to train and develop into a soccer player, it's way too long to keep fan interest high in hopes of seeing him.
It's Dortmund, folks.
Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa. Can't believe some people in this thread... Dortmond, Arsenal... lmao. Are you guys for real?

If he did sign with one of those teams, there is no way it would be to the first team...and not the second team either.
There are guys that play for the respective national teams at youth levels that can't even crack the second team....you think some guy who has spent almost his entire adulthood in a different sport is going to come in and do that? Hah! Prime example in American sports would be Tim Tebow or Michael Jordan...and both were (IIRC in Jordan's case) younger than Bolt when they tried.
...and by "those teams" I meant a Dortmund or Arsenal, ie a top-five team in their respective countries' top domestic league.
Doubt he would even be good enough for a League 2 (4th tier) club in England. Sunday league would be his level. Just because he can run fast means nothing if he has no ball control and considing footballers spend hours every day since they are 8 years old training, how could he be anywhere close? Ridicuous publicity stunt, which I can't imagine the actual footballers on the team being to happy about.
