The son of England legend David Beckham has been in the Bees’ B squad since 2023 and was offered the chance to extend his contract in June.
However, according to The SunBeckham left the club amid a deal with French agency Safe Management.
A source told the outlet: “Romeo has decided to hang up his boots and dedicate his time to his career in fashion.
“He loved his time in Brentford but you need to focus your attention on fashion, which is where your passion lies.
“Romeo recently signed with a major fashion agent in Paris and has his eye on working with some big brands.”
This isn’t the first time David and Victoria Beckham’s son has changed careers.
After playing for Arsenal as a youngster, he swapped football for tennis.
However, he returned to the sport in 2020, before signing with his father’s Major League Soccer club, Inter Miami, in 2021.
He made 26 appearances for Inter Miami II, scoring two goals and registering 10 assists in his final season with the MLS reserves before moving to Brentford on loan in January 2023.

That agreement became permanent that summer.
But now, Beckham’s second son will leave football behind and follow in the footsteps of his mother, formerly Posh Spice of the iconic British band Spice Girls.
Victoria became a fashion designer after her singing career ended and is seen as a fashion icon.
Romeo has graced the cover of several magazines over the years and also appeared in a Burberry campaign at the age of two.
He turned 22 on Sunday and his parents posted heartfelt messages on social media.
“Happy 22nd birthday to my beautiful boy,” said David Beckham.
“We are so proud of the man you have become, kind, passionate and hardworking… Have an amazing day because you deserve it… Love you so much man.”
Mum Victoria added: “Happy birthday @romeobeckham. We all love you so much. Kind, talented and passionate. Beautiful inside and out! You are about to start an exciting new chapter and we couldn’t be more excited for you!!! You mean everything to us (heart emoji) kisses.”
