Former Olympic 100m and 200m champion Usain Bolt may have to wait a little longer to earn his first professional football contract.
The Jamaican sprint king has was offered a $150,000 deal by A-League side Central Coastal Mariners but reports revealed he wanted $3million instead.
The 32-year-old has been on trails with the club in recent weeks and scored two goals in his last match to earn himself a his first professional deal.
Bolt's agent Ricky Simms had earlier confirmed that the Mariners were ready to reward his performance with a contract.
And with the latest development, Bolt might be looking elsewhere to fulfill his ambitions of becoming a footballer.
Bolt had trained with German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund but he was told he could not get to the fitness level the club required.
He was also recently offered a two-year deal to join Maltese champions Valletta who will be playing in next season's Champions League play offs but he turned them down.
