Romeo Beckham 'quits Brentford FC as he follows in mother Victoria's footsteps by focusing on new career'

Romeo Beckham has reportedly left his Premier League football club to focus on a career in fashion.

According to The Sun, the midfielder, who is the son of David and Victoria Beckham, was offered a new contract by Brentford FC in June to stay on with their B team.

But it appears Romeo, 21, is hoping to follow in his mother Victoria's footsteps as he signed with top Paris fashion agency Safe Management.

Romeo is no stranger to the world of fashion, having starred in a Burberry campaign when he was just two years old and he is regularly seen showing off his style sense at A-list events.

A source said: 'Romeo has decided to hang up his football boots and devote his time to his fashion career.

'He has loved his time at Brentford but needs to focus his attention on fashion, which is where his passion lies. 

'Romeo has recently signed with a top fashion agent in Paris and has his sights set on working with some ­massive brands.' 

MailOnline has contacted representatives of Romeo Beckham for comment. 

A promising prospect in his youth, Romeo drifted away from football after being released by Arsenal in 2015 and turned his attention towards a career in tennis.

However, Romeo would announce he intended on a return to football in 2020 before joining dad David's MLS franchise Inter Miami the following year.

Romeo would go on to make 26 appearances for the club's reserve side, netting twice and notching 10 assists in the MLS Next Pro league during his final season in the USA before joining Brentford B on loan in January 2023.   

It comes after Romeo took inspiration from his fashion mogul mother Victoria as he recently posed for a snap wearing a pair of giant yellow Crocs boots. 

The footballer showed off his tattooed physique in a white tank top and grey shorts as he flicked his leg behind him modelling the eccentric £354 boots. 

Sporting a backwards black baseball cap, Romeo crossed his arms as he faced away from the camera while posing in his brother Cruz's bedroom. 

Romeo simply captioned the post: 'Mmmmmm'

His family were quick to take to the comments including younger brother Cruz, who penned: 'That’s my room', while his grandmother Sandra Beckham added a shocked face emoji.

It comes after his mum Victoria ditched her signature heels to pose in the same yellow cartoonish oversized boots last year.

Posh Spice let the shoes do all the talking as she kept the rest of her outfit simple in a black midi dress.

Victoria appeared in her element as she posed up a storm for the camera in the eccentric boot which have also been modelled by Paris Hilton.

The yellow Crocs are a collaboration with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF – pronounced mischief – following the release of their cartoonish Big Red Boots last year.
