As if that weren’t enough, the England midfielder Jude Bellingham is now being courted by luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton for an endorsement contract worth millions of pounds.
The 20-year-old from Stourbridge is the latest celebrity to be targeted by the high-end French fashion house, which exclusively collaborates with famous athletes. They previously partnered with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for an ad campaign leading up to the 2010 World Cup, and this year they’re going after the same demographic.
Bellingham, who is very interested in fashion, attended last month’s Ballon d’Or honors in Paris wearing a suit by Louis Vuitton with flared pants.
Aside from his footwear agreement with adidas, the Real Madrid player has not signed any personal endorsement deals. However, he did appear in a Gucci photoshoot last year as part of their partnership with the German sportswear firm.
Although Bellingham is interested in reuniting with Gucci, the fashion house has already secured the services of Jack Grealish, an England teammate, for around £1 million.
