It looks like Romeo, 21, is looking to follow in his mother Victoria’s footsteps as he has signed a contract with leading Parisian fashion agency Safe Management
Romeo is no stranger to the fashion world, having starred in a Burberry campaign when he was just two years old, and is regularly seen flaunting his sense of style at A-list events.
‘He has enjoyed his time at Brentford but he needs to focus on fashion now because that is where his passion lies.
‘Romeo recently signed a contract with a top fashion agent in Paris and is keen to work with some major brands.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Romeo Beckham for comment.
Romeo was a promising talent in his youth, but after being released by Arsenal in 2015, he stepped away from football and focused on a career in tennis.
However, Romeo announced his intention to return to football in 2020, before joining Inter Miami, his father David’s MLS club, the following year.
Romeo made 26 appearances for the club’s reserve team, scoring twice and providing 10 assists in the MLS Next Pro League during his final season in the US, before joining Brentford B on loan in January 2023.
Romeo took inspiration from his fashion mogul mother Victoria when he recently posed for a photo wearing a pair of oversized yellow Crocs boots.
The footballer showed off his tattooed body in a white tank top and grey shorts, swinging his leg back as he showed off the eccentric £354 football boots.

Romeo wore a black baseball cap on backwards and crossed his arms as he looked away from the camera while posing in his brother Cruz’s bedroom.
Romeo simply captioned the post: ‘Mmmmmm’
His family were quick to respond to the comments, including his younger brother Cruz, who wrote, “That’s my room,” while his grandmother Sandra Beckham added a shocked face emoji.
That comes after his mother Victoria traded in her signature heels for the same cartoonish yellow oversized boots last year.
Posh Spice let the shoes do the talking, while keeping the rest of her outfit simple with a black midi dress.
Victoria was in her element as she posed for the camera in the eccentric boots also worn by Paris Hilton.
The yellow Crocs are a collaboration with Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF – pronounced naughty – following the release of their cartoonish Big Red Boots last year.
