ENGLAND footballer Jack Grealish is on target to make a £100million fortune before the age of 30.
The Manchester City midfielder recently signed the most lucrative boot sponsorship deal in Britain, teaming up with German sportswear giant Puma for a reputed £10million a year.
And industry insiders claim 27-year-old Grealish could soon be earning close to £1million a week thanks to his exploits on and off the field and his huge following.
Grealish became the most expensive footballer in British football history when he joined City from Aston Villa for a £100million fee and wages of £300,000 a week in 2021.
He lifted the Premier League title with Pep Guardiola’s team in his first season and a host of lucrative endorsements have followed.
The down-to-earth Brummie has signed a £10million deal with Gucci and a sponsorship contract with boohooMan estimated at being worth around £1million.

It is understood razor brand Gillette is also eyeing up Jack to join their stable of global sporting personalities.
A source close to Grealish said: “The staff at City were stunned to learn how much the Puma deal is worth to Jack and are really chuffed for him.
“We have joked he is now the million dollar man. We reckon he must already be pulling down close to £750,000 a week in wages and commercial stuff — the sky really is the limit for Jack now he is entering his peak years.”
The Sun revealed last year how City’s tills were also ringing after they had signed Grealish.

Grealish recently said of his £200,000-a-week Puma deal: “They are a brand that’s really caught my eye in the last few years.
“Especially recently, the collabs they are doing with other brands — the people they have on board now in NBA, F1 and football — it’s really eye-catching and it was a no-brainer for me.”
In November last year, we told how Jack had spent £6million on a seven-bedroom mansion within 20 acres of the Cheshire countryside.
