You can’t do that there, because there is no user at the time the class definition is executed. Instead, set upload_to to a callable, which will be called with the instance and the filename, and returns the full path including filename:

def content_file_name(instance, filename):
    return os.path.join('media', instance.user.username, filename)

class Image(models.Model):
    ...
    content = models.FileField(upload_to=content_file_name)
