Grealish, 28, mixed the sandstone trench coat with blue jeans and white trainers in the shoot for Puma’s revived Palermo range – which was first launched in the 1980s.
The classic set will hit shelves again this month.
Despite looking like a pop legend, £100m man Grealish’s own turn on the mic was less impressive – as he memorably belted out hits while sloshed after winning the treble in June.
It comes after Brummie Grealish landed a £10million sponsorship deal with Gucci.
He also signed a £10million-a-season deal to become the face of sports brand Puma until 2028.
Johan Adamsson, Puma’s global director of sports marketing and sports licensing, said: “He turns heads on and off the pitch with his quick feet and personal style.”
Grealish also got a six-figure sum for a clothing collaboration with BoohooMAN.
An Instagram fan page is dedicated to his outfits and he has been dubbed “the most marketable footballer since David Beckham”, with brands desperate for a piece of the player.
Brand marketing expert Andy Barr said: “One of the reasons why organisations are queueing up to try and work with Grealish is because he does not yet realise that he is more than just an elite level sports person, he is actually now a global brand.”
Grealish, said to earn £300,000 a week at Manchester City, became the most expensive footballer in British history when he joined the club from Aston Villa in a £100million deal.
