Manchester City winger, Raheem Sterling is raising his son, Thiago, to become another world-class player who could end up playing for the Three Lions of England. Recently, the 27-year-old English forward shared a video of the 4-year-old son showcasing his football skills in his living room.
Based on the scenes from the video, Raheem Sterling could be seen seating on a couch while filming when Thiago was making some stunning football moves.
A medium-sized plastic table and a training post were set on the space the boy was showcasing his skills. A joyous Thiago used his legs to raise the ball over the table before he smashed the ball into the training post.
Afterward, Raheem Sterling watched his son cross his hands over his chest, jump up, and spread his hands in an attempt to imitate the iconic “siuuu” celebration invented by Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo.
In another Instagram post, the Manchester City forward could be seen chilling with Thiago outdoors. He tagged the picture with “love ya son”.
Over time, Raheem Sterling has proven that he loves Thiago dearly and wants him to be a football star like him. Recall during the 2020 Euro which took place between June 11 and July 11, 2021, the boy was always seen on the stand cheering on his father in England’s jersey.
In one of the knockout matches during the tournament, Sterling was seen carrying Thiago after the game. The boy imitated his father’s trademark gesture to celebrate England’s win.
Raheem Sterling is projected to be another David Beckham
Raheem Sterling is one of the most prominent footballers in the Three Lions of England and Manchester City. He has been a Manchester City player since July 14, 2015, after leaving Liverpool for €63.70 million.
He made his international debut on November 14, 2012. Since then, he has scored 18 goals in 72 appearances for the Three Lions of England.
Raheem Sterling might not be an outstanding footballer on the pitch like former England captain David Beckham, but it is believed that the 27-year-old forward has the potential to become a global megastar like Beckham.
Reports claimed that when Beckham retired from football in 2013, he was earning £33 million per year via his salary, sponsorships, and business ventures.
Even though he is no longer playing football, he remains a global brand earning huge revenue. His wife, Victoria, and his children, especially the 22-year-old photographer Brooklyn and 18-year-old model Romeo are also raking in millions via their social media presence.
Raheem Sterling is said to be walking on the same path. The 27-year-old winger who reportedly earns £300,000 a week at Manchester City has lucrative endorsement deals with Gillette and New Balance.
His four-year-old son, Thiago, is gradually becoming a brand as he is seen as a fashion model even though he is just 4-year-old. The boy recently had a deal with Italian luxury house Fendi and also appeared on Gillette’s advert with his father.
Aside from Thiago, Raheem Sterling has another son named Thai-Cruz, with his 25-year-old fiancée Paige Milian. He also has a daughter Melody Rose from his previous relationship.
