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.

Grealish’s marketability has soared above the likes of Harry Kane as he enters David Beckham territory in terms of his appeal to football as well as non football followers.

On the pitch, he is delivering the goods although a hamstring injury kept him out of a second consecutive Premier League match as Man City came from behind to win 3-1 at West Ham on Saturday.
