Former Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish set to sign ‘unprecedented 7-figure deal’
Grealish is on the brink of singing a major ‘seven figure’ sponsorship contract
Former Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish is reportedly on the verge of signing a major endorsement contract with the high-end fashion company Gucci.
According to The Athletic, the deal the Manchester City midfielder is set to sign is believed to be worth seven figures.
The report states that as Gucci usually uses star names from the acting and music industries, the fact the company is joining forces with Grealish highlight’s the Birmingham-born player’s ‘global appeal’.
The partnership would reportedly make Grealish an official ambassador of the iconic Italian company, a move which The Athletic says is ‘unprecedented’ for a sportsperson.
Grealish became the most expensive British footballer of all time following his £100 million pound move to Premier League champions City from Villa in the summer.
His previous performances for Villa since his boyhood-club returned to English football’s top division in 2019, as well as his contribution to England’s run to the 2020 European Championship final has made him a popular figure across the country.
