Usain Bolt is odds-on (4/6) to sign for Diego Maradona's Dorados as he has reportedly opened talks with the Mexican side.
Bolt scored two goals during a three-game trial with Australian outfit Central Coast Mariners, although they failed to come to terms on a contract.
However, the world's fastest man's dream of becoming a footballer is still alive as he in talks with Dorados, who are currently midtable in the second division of Mexican football.
Maradona was impressed with Bolt when he seen him play in a charity match in Switzerland earlier this year and is ready to give his footballing career a lifeline.

The Argentine legend has reportedly started negotiating with sponsors to try and cover Bolt's wages.
The 32-year-old revealed last week that he has the backing of Paul Pogba and Raheem Sterling as he looks to kick-start his career following Andy Keogh saying the Jamaican has a first touch "like a trampoline".
"People are going to say what they want, I'm used to this. I used to do track and field, people used to think badly of me when I started, and I proved them wrong every year," said the nine-time Olympic champion.

"Football is something that I want. I'm sure he (Keogh) is not at the level he was when he started, you know what I mean?
"I don't take it personally, I just laugh at these things because I've met Patrick Viera, I've met so many big football players.
"I've talked to Pogba and Sterling and they are happy to see me trying, they say 'come on, you can do it'.
"They support me, so I'm not going to worry about some simple players saying some things about me because I have high-level players knowing this is a dream and what I want to do.

"This is not all about the money. This is a dream, and I want to try and see how good I can be."
Meanwhile, Bolt has gave himself until the end of this month to find a club or he is calling it quits on his footballing career.
The 32-year-old spent two weeks with German giants Borussia Dortmund earlier this year, as well as, a period with Nowegian side Stromsgodest and rejected a contract from Maltese outfit Valletta just before his trial at Mariners came to an end.
"I've got a lot of offers from a lot of other clubs out there," Bolt told Omnisport.

"We'll make a decision before the end of November if I'm going to go to another club or call it actually quits."
