Beckham's son retires at age 22

Being the son of a famous person can open many doors, but it also adds excessive pressure that sometimes affects his life. This is what may have happened to Romeo Beckham, son of David Beckham.

Romeo has decided to call time on his football career, according to 'The Sun'. At the age of 22, he is hanging up his boots after not accepting a renewal offer from Brentford, the club where he played in their youth team.

Beckham's career now turned to the fashion catwalk. "It's a considered decision and one that brings him closer to his mother, as it seems Romeo, 21, is hoping to sign a deal with leading Parisian fashion house Safe," reports The Sun.

The son of the former Man Utd player has had a patchy career. When he was in the Arsenal youth academy in 2015, the Gunners released him and he focused on his tennis career. He returned to the world of football in 2020 to play for Inter Miami and then moved to Brentford, where his football adventure has ended.
