Grillis strikes a rich deal with Gucci
It is now widely rumored that Jack Grillis is very likely to be working with fashion house Gucci to sign a sponsorship deal that will net the England midfielder a seven-figure profit.
Jack Grillis is ready to boost his bank account heavily as he has landed a whopping sponsorship deal with fashion house Gucci that will net him seven figures. This contract will be of such value because Grillis will be on the list of ambassadors – top notch celebrity.
The numbers show that the 26-year-old midfielder is following in David Beckham’s ‘footsteps’.
The Manchester City England midfielder was acquired from Aston Villa for €117million last summer. So far he has played 30 times in all competitions, recording 4 goals and 3 assists, without living up to the high expectations that were placed on him.
However, Pep Guardiola defended him in a recent press conference: “We didn’t buy him to score 45 goals. There is always an exaggeration in player statistics. Nowadays players only play for their stats and that is the biggest mistake we can make“.
