Revealed: Man City star Jack Grealish on £500,000-a-week after agreeing biggest deal ever handed to British footballer
Man City star Jack Grealish has supercharged his earnings after agreeing the most lucrative boot contract ever handed to a British footballer earlier this year, sources have told Football Insider.
The England star, 28, signed a five-year deal with Puma in the Spring that it is believed is worth more than £50million across the entirety of his deal.
This is in addition to his City contract, which sources say is in excess of £300,000-a-week including bonuses. That was signed when he joined from Aston Villa in the summer of 2021 and runs until 2027.
It adds up to a colossal earnings for the wide forward, whose main combined deals are worth a jawdropping £500,000-a-week.
Grealish, a central figure in City’s historic treble-winning campaign last season, is also a prominent ambassador for other brands including Gucci and Bose.
Grealish is one of the most marketable athletes in British sport, built upon a dazzling playing style as well as the looks and personna that is no attractive to the elite sports brands.
The Manchester City winger had worn Nike since he was a teenager but the US giant were powerless to prevent him from leaving earlier this year.
The manufacturer were unwilling to match the finances and have a larger roster of athletes, with Puma able to offer a more bespoke branding package to the City star.
