Jack Grealish is gearing up for a major life change, as the Manchester City winger and his long-time partner, Sasha Attwood, are expecting their first child. This exciting news comes at a time when Grealish’s career and earnings are soaring to new heights.
In an emotional Instagram post, Grealish and Attwood shared their joy with the world. The 26-year-old footballer posted a picture of himself gently holding Attwood’s baby bump, both of them radiating happiness. He captioned the photo with, “Life’s biggest blessing,” reflecting his sheer delight at becoming a father.
Attwood also shared the same photo on her Instagram, adding her own heartfelt message: “Half of me, half of you. Beyond blessed.” The couple, who have been together since their school days, now have a bright financial future ahead, thanks to Grealish’s burgeoning net worth, which has reportedly reached an impressive £20 million.
This wealth is a result of his lucrative salary at Manchester City and profitable deals with high-end fashion brands, complemented by strategic image rights agreements. Following his record-breaking £100 million transfer from Aston Villa in 2021, Grealish earns around £300,000 per week, amounting to over £15 million annually. This places him among City’s top earners, just behind stars like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, according to the Mirror.
Grealish has also signed a lucrative £10 million contract with luxury fashion house Gucci. Combined with endorsements from brands like Pepsi and Puma, sources suggest he could be earning close to £1 million per week from his off-pitch ventures. He is now being hailed as “the most marketable footballer since David Beckham.”
The couple has settled into a luxurious lifestyle in Cheshire, where Grealish reportedly spent £6 million on a mansion featuring seven bedrooms, a swimming pool, and a tennis court. They have plans for further expansions, indicating their growing family will have plenty of space to thrive.
Sasha Attwood, not to be overshadowed by Grealish’s success, is also making significant strides in her career. As a professional model, she represents major brands such as L’Oreal, House of Fraser, PrettyLittleThing, and Boohoo, carving out her own path in the fashion industry.
Dave Powell, principal business of football writer for Reach, explained to Birmingham Live that Grealish’s reported £15.6 million annual income from City is pre-tax. Given the 45% tax bracket for such high earnings, Grealish would net around £7 million annually after taxes—still a substantial sum by any measure.
Despite not being selected for England’s Euro 2024 squad, Grealish’s financial future remains secure. Powell highlighted a savvy move Grealish made back in 2014 by establishing a limited company for his image rights, known as Kelandan Ltd. This strategy has ensured his financial stability, even if his playing career doesn’t go as planned.
“As players have become brands, in some cases being even stronger and more compelling to younger generations than the clubs themselves, players and agents have realised the brand value that exists, and how it can be monetised,” Powell noted.
With a baby on the way and financial security firmly in place, Jack Grealish and Sasha Attwood are poised to embark on a new and exciting chapter in their lives.
