Emily Webber reports for The S*n that though Romeo Beckham was offered a new contract with Brentford in June to continue playing with their B team, he’s decided to leave the Premier League club.

According to the report, David Beckham’s son Romeo has decided to end his football career and devote his time to a career in fashion instead. That’s reportedly where his true passion lies.

The 22-year-old has signed with a fashion agent in Paris and intends to work with big brands in the industry.

Despite David Beckham playing for Manchester United, and two of his sons supporting his old club, Romeo has been an Arsenal fan since a young age.

The youngster ended up getting a youth contract with Arsenal in 2014, but he was released a year later. After spending five years attempting to get a tennis career going, he returned to football with Fort Lauderdale CF in the United States.

Beckham Jr. then played for Inter Miami, before joining Brentford B in 2022. Initially he was only involved in training, then he signed on loan in January 2023, before joining permanently on a one-year deal that summer.

It seems Romeo’s on-field football career is coming to an end, but he may still end up in attendance at the Emirates Stadium from time to time as a fan.
