Usain Bolt Join AC Milan Because Of Puma In Shocking Move?
Oct 17, 2018, by Chris
This week, it was reported that legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has received an offer to join a European club during the winter transfer market. While no club was specifically mentioned, it was first rumored that most likely that it are (former) Italian giants AC Milan who made the offer. Shortly after, it emerged that it were Maltese champions FC Valletta who made the offer.
So, even though it came to light that not Milan but FC Valletta made the offer, is it nevertheless possible that Bolt will join AC Milan?
The 32-year-old eight-time world champions Usain Bolt has recently started his football career with Australian club Central Coast Mariners. He even scored a brace in his competitive debut with the A-League side. Bolt joined Central Coast Mariners in August for an undefined period but it seems as if his long-lasting dream of playing in Europe could come true.
The best reason that hint a move from Usain Bolt to Milan is that Bolt has been sponsored by Puamafor over 15 years. Puma took over from Adidas as Milan's kit supplier this summer. Usain Bolt is wearing the Puma Future Netfit soccer boot.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
