Harry Kane – £95 million, London
The England national team is in great hands, with Harry Kane serving as the captain. He also plays for Tottenham Hotspur as a striker. Away from the pitch, Kane is a family man who resides with his wife Katie Goodland and the three children they share in London. They recently welcomed their youngest son, Louis, in 2020.
The family rents a seven-bedroom mansion worth £17M that came with a state-of-the-art training facility as well as a man cave. They reportedly pay £15K each week for the rental, and Kane regularly shares photos on social media showing him making the most out of the games room, where his daughter watches Peppa Pig.
David Beckham – £450 million, Holland Park
Former football legend David Beckham teamed up with investors to purchase the MLS expansion team, Miami CF. The football team took to the pitch in March 2020, but they didn’t win that first match against Los Angeles FC. Beckham can still celebrate other wins in his life against the backdrop of his Holland Park townhouse.
Alongside his wife Victoria, he spent £31.5M purchasing the sprawling mansion in 2013. Another £8M went into renovations, but they faced quite a bit of objection from a particular neighbor. Fifty applications later and they eventually had the go-ahead to continue with the facelift plans.
Kyle Walker – £45 Million, Cheshire
‘Manchester City’ footballer Kyle Walker’s house screams luxury and class from its five aside football pitch to its swimming pool with a waterfall. This place is basically the brainchild of a man that loves what he does, and the football-themed rooms prove it.
When one passes by Kyle’s house, they see a 13ft tall screen that protects it and keeps his pitch away from passersby’s prying eyes. Besides, the house’s insides are just as breathtaking as the outside, and when someone walks in, they are met by the spacious living room, marble table, and leather chairs. Honestly, we do not fault their security measures because such beauty needs to be protected.
Jürgen Klopp – £45 million, Formby
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp faced uncertainties in 2019 when Brendan Rodgers made a comeback to the league. It’s because he’s been renting the £3.75M Formby home that belongs to Rodgers since 2015. Fortunately, he keeps living in the residence, reportedly paying £4K monthly.
When Klopp moved into the mansion, he joked about not liking the pool all too much. Six years later, it seems like his family feels quite at home living there, and on matters related to the pitch, Klopp received the FIFA coach of the Year award in 2019 and 2020.
Danny Welbeck – £Unknown, Unknown
The English professional football star Danny Welbeck loves to keep his personal life away from the media, so very little is known about his residence. Yet, it isn’t difficult to tell that the footballer who plays forward for ‘Brighton and Hove Albion F.C’ has an eye for luxurious properties.
In 2016, he was spotted in Hertfordshire, viewing the magnificent Miriam home, designed by the renowned Paul Artemi, who said the name Miriam which means amazing, describes the blend of luxury, traditional materials, and technology to make it a heavenly penthouse. So, it comes as no surprise that Welbeck was attracted to the £3 million luxury property. We look forward to more concrete news on the iconic footballer’s abode.
Gary Neville – £25 million, Lancashire
Gary Neville is yet another former Manchester United player who co-owns Salford City, notably alongside his brother Phil. He enjoyed a two-decade-long playing career with Man-U and also represented his country’s national team. Neville is equally known for the plans he had to construct an eco-house that mirrored the famous Teletubbies estate.
He shared his vision for the underground utopia in 2010 and chose a location in Lancashire for the futuristic abode. The carbon-neutral project would have set him back by about £8M with the inclusion of wind turbines. After locals opposed his plans, he decided to offload the 8,000-square-foot lot in 2017, asking for £650K.
Wayne Rooney – £21.4 million, Cheshire
Wayne Rooney is currently on contract as the Derby County Football team’s manager.

The couple started constructing their £20M abode in 2017, and after four years, they recently moved into the mansion. Resting on a 40-acre plot, the lavish chateau comes with a swimming pool steam room, snooker room, wine store, and a training facility.
Paul Scholes – £12 million, Grasscroft
Besides co-owing Salford City alongside some of his former Manchester United teammates, Paul Scholes is also the team’s caretaker. He took up the role in 2020, and during his playing days, Man-U had him signed up for his entire career. Sadly, Scholes parted ways with Claire Froggatt in 2020 after 21 years of marriage.
The split prompted the listing of the seven-bedroom spread the couple previously occupied in the Greater Manchester area. A true sportsman haven, the residence features a mini football pitch, netball court, and mini-golf field. He listed the modern-day castle for £3.8M.
Gareth Bale – £120 million, Essex
Gareth Bale might be on loan to Tottenham for the 2021 season, but in 2013, he packed up and moved to Madrid. He had just taken up a lucrative deal with Real Madrid that saw him earning £300K per week. While staying at the Spanish capital, he moved into Ricardo Kaká’s former La Finca abode.
The move also saw him offload his former Clarence Gate farmhouse in Essex. The residence comes with five bedrooms, an open kitchen, and three balconies. He lived with his girlfriend, now wife, Emma Rhys-Jones, alongside their daughter Elba. The pair got hitched in 2019 and welcomed their son Alex in 2018.
Jack Grealish – £30 Million, Worcester
At the transfer season’s advent, hardly had anyone expected Jack Grealish to become the most valuable signing in the history of the British derby. Yet, when he switched to ‘Manchester City,’ the talented midfielder earned the tag of the first £100 million player in the Premier League. With such riches, it is apparent that he enjoys an expensive pad.
Among the eye-catching aspects of Jack’s incredible 1.69 acres property in Worcester are six luxurious bedrooms, a private gym, and a driveway. The grand living room is elegantly decorated with soft cream carpets and neutral-colored couches. Moreover, there are gardens around, which makes the home airy and a perfect spot to relax.
Ryan Giggs – £3 million, Salford
In 2004, Ryan Giggs bought a Salford pad alongside his ex-wife Stacey. They knocked down the dwelling on the lot and constructed a custom five-bedroom mansion with five bathrooms. The new architecture also includes a bar, indoor pool, and cinema.
In 2019, Giggs offloaded the mansion for £3M and moved to a modest abode in Worsley worth a reported £1.7M. He previously listed the Salford home asking for £3.5M but closed the deal after slashing £500K. Giggs faced legal trouble after getting arrested in November 2020 on claims of assaulting Kate Greville, his former girlfriend, and another person.
Roy Keane – £6.45 million, Hale
In the Irish soccer circles and globally, Roy Keane is regarded as one of the best players and football managers. His career included winning 19 major trophies, and in 2021, he earned yet another feat with the induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
Keane and his wife Theresa Doyle once resided at the pictured eight-bedroom mansion in Hale. The pair spent £3.2M on the purchase of the 9,500-square-foot abode in 2005 and took it through several renovations over the years. When listing the villa in 2010, they initially asked for £9.5M but eventually slashed £3M from the price when it didn’t move.
David De Gea – £3.85 million, Cheshire
In 2018, David De Gea moved out of his Cheshire rental, and it subsequently sparked rumors that he was gearing up for a career move. For several years, the soccer rumor mills had it that the Spanish footballer had been in talks with Real Madrid for a possible move.
It turned out to be just down to the realities of life, with his landlord listing the two-bedroom residence for sale, forcing him to move. De Gea stayed with Manchester United making 367 appearances to date. He recently inked a contract extension with the team slated to run through to 2023.
Steven Gerrard – £18 million, Beverly Hills
The LA Galaxy managed to sign Steven Gerrard in 2015, and while he took a pay cut, it worked for his career at the time. However, it didn’t force him to downsize in life, and in fact, he moved into a luxurious £18M Beverly Hills abode. Covering 12,000-square-feet, the six-bedroom residence also features a pool and a cinema.
However, in reality, Gerrard was renting the lavish spread for a reported £35K each month. He loved the privacy that came with the low-profile life in L.A. making it ideal for raising his family. Gerrard managed the Rangers Football Club.
Sadio Mané – Price Undisclosed, Bambali
Sadio Mané hails from Bambali, Senegal, and plays for Liverpool and his native country’s national team. He’s the perfect example of rising from grass to grace, and part of his newfound wealth went into constructing a mansion where he grew up.
Mohamed Salah – £705k, Cairo
Egyptian-born soccer star Mohamed Salah Hamed is a forward who currently plays for Liverpool. His speed, dribbling prowess, and finishing skills are some of the reasons he quickly shot up to being recognized as a football legend.
He recently took up the position of his native national team’s coach, and Salah has his eyes set on helping them qualify for the forthcoming 2022 World Cup. Whenever he’s back home in Egypt, crowds of adoring fans flock outside his door. That’s because, in 2018, his address was leaked on Facebook, but Salah too it like a champ and went out to greet his fans.
Mason Mount – Approx. £3 Million, London
When Mason Mount is not busy at the pitch, he spends time at his sprawling home in London. Once in a while, the player posts photos of him inside the abode on his social media page. Of course, his fans are more than happy to see into the private life of their football idol.
The snaps Mount posted showed the interior of his house is painted white, including the game room. Clearly, he is a huge fan of neutral interiors, judging from his oak staircase and modern artwork on the walls, emphasizing the monochrome vibe. Additionally, the Portsmouth native has a very well-kept garden with a luscious lawn, where a huge football goal is situated.
Jermain Defoe – £3.25 Million, Hertfordshire
The only thing better than the 300 goals Jermain Defoe has scored as a footballer is the 7,000-square-foot mansion that he acquired. The massive estate he owns sits on a beautiful landscape that gives one the view of the entire surroundings from every angle of the building.
Another cool thing about this house is that it stays true to Jermain’s bubbly nature by having its nightclub and providing him with anything he could possibly need. As if that’s not enough, this residential building is situated in Hertfordshire by a lovely neighborhood that befits the status of the English footballer and his family.
Emile Heskey – £3 Million, Cheshire
Emile Heskey is a former footballer who has had a successful career since his youth days playing for ‘Leicester City.’ He was so impressive and gifted that it didn’t take a while before he was called up to represent England at the international level.
Having retired with an astonishing record in football, Heskey has amassed a fortune that would account for his massive estate worth £3 million. The luxury home, which has a cinema and magnificent interior decor, is located in the popular neighborhood of Cheshire. Although it was reported that the football icon planned to sell the home after an unfortunate incident, nothing has been confirmed. Still, the Edwardian speaks volumes of his taste and impressive net worth.
Daniel Sturridge – £1.2 Million, Los Angeles
Despite the past drama attached to this place, one cannot take away how beautiful Daniel Sturridge’s building is. This mansion is situated in an excellent, calm neighborhood known for its tastefully built postmodern homes. The community is also famed as a haven for the elites and the who’s who of the society.
On his free days, the England footballer is seen playing with his Pomeranian dog in the large yard in front of this Los Angeles mansion. They would be seen running by the lush vegetation located around the property, basking in the white and cream vibes of the building. It’s such a sight to behold.
Andy Robertson – £3.3 Million, Cheshire
Not everyone is fortunate to have the ‘Manchester United’ legend, Sir Alex Ferguson, as their neighbor. So, Andy Robertson is undeniably lucky there! That being said, we can expect the two to get in some great football conversations. Never mind if they support rival Premier League clubs! Considered among the best left-backs globally, Andy played a crucial role in helping ‘Liverpool’ win the 2019-20 EPL.
The Scottish defender splashed out a staggering £3.3 million on a beautiful estate on Wilmslow Road in Cheshire for a luxurious stay. His stunning property comes with five sumptuous bedrooms, a games room, and many more attractive features.
Tariq Lamptey – Undisclosed, Brighton
The famous ‘Brighton & Hove Albion’ defender, Tariq Lamptey, is best known for his crossing and tackling skills. Besides showing his expertise in Premier League matches, the soccer star also plays in the England under-21 team. When he’s not training, Tariq usually spends his time relaxing at his lavish abode in Brighton.
Although the footballer never disclosed the price of his beautiful residence, he offered his fans a sneak peek into his house. In all honesty, the picture shows it’s clean and appealing. Tariq’s home boasts white-colored walls and furnishing that makes the rooms look bright and elegant. No wonder it offers him the coziness and serenity he craves after a tiresome day!
James Milner – Undisclosed, Liverpool
After enjoying an impressive five years at ‘Manchester City,’ James Milner signed a contract with ‘Liverpool.’ There, the midfielder made about 180 promising appearances and is undoubtedly a fan-favorite. Moreover, the famous soccer player enjoys a lofty salary and places him among the club’s top earners. So, it’s not unusual for him to afford a luxurious apartment.
James once shared a photo of himself pressing his T-shirt on an iron board in his sweet home. The tidy white wall makes us wonder how spacious and bright the rooms of his Liverpool estate must be. Although the cost of this residence is undisclosed, we believe it’s worth the price!
Jordan Henderson – Around £3 Million, Cheshire
After a successful match, Jordan Henderson resorts to his stylish and comfortable abode. The vast area boasts seven bedrooms and a trophy corridor for the accolades he has received throughout his career. We’ve seen the ‘Liverpool’ star sharing occasional glimpses of his lovely home with his fans.
We adore Jordan’s tastes in glitzy decors balanced well by gray walls and black sofa sets. His beautiful candlelit dining room comes with a vast wooden table and is undeniably a perfect spot for family get-togethers. To top it all, there’s also a landscape garden for the midfielder’s kids to run about and play. So, no wonder Jordan is living in his dream mansion!
Adam Lallana – £1.5 Million, Ringwood
Widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders, Adam Lallana played a significant role in helping ‘Liverpool’ lift the 2019-20 Premier League trophy. Currently, the soccer star represents the ‘Brighton & Hove Albion’ team in the European Leagues. With his whopping paycheck, he can afford many magnific houses of his choice. Yet, the £1.5 million estate in Ringwood is where the prolific soccer star wishes to loosen up when he’s not playing.
Besides other attractive features, his spacious property has a football pitch in its backyard. Despite the neighbors’ oppositions, Adam managed to set up the £40,000 games area to exercise and practice his shots.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – £2.6 million, Cheshire
‘Liverpool’s right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, stayed at his parents’ home with them, even after starting his Premier League career. Then, three years into his vocation, the handsome defender moved to his opulent estate in Hale, Cheshire. Surprisingly, he shares the neighborhood with his counterparts from rival teams, including ‘Manchester United’ legend Paul Pogba.
Considering the player’s enormous earnings even at such a young age, we believe his five-bedroom abode is decked with various lavish features. After all, the grand estate cost Trent no less than a whopping £2.6 million! So, no doubt, the footballer gets to enjoy his days off or relax post-match in the lap of luxury.
Raheem Sterling – £3.1 million, Cheshire
Premier League soccer player Raheen Sterling is a newly married man after tying the knot with his sweetheart Paige Milian in 2020. In 2017, when the pair were still dating and had just welcomed their first child, they moved into the pictured six-bedroom mansion.
Highlights of the 7,500-square-foot abode include an outdoor pool and two sun terraces. Several celebrity residences were burgled in the area three years ago. The Crown Court heard the matter in July 2020, and it was revealed that the three-person gang attempted to burgle Sterling’s home in November 2018.
Rio Ferdinand – £2 million, Cheshire

Ferdinand lost his wife to breast cancer and penned a publication titled Thinking Out Loud detailing the ordeal. Released in 2017, the former center-back collaborated with Decca Aitkenhead on the publication. He found love again and married Katie Wright in 2019. Ferdinand currently lends his soccer expertise to BT Sport as a pundit.
Sol Campbell – £5.25 million, Northumberland
In his playing days, Sol Campbell helped teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal clinch several victories. He transitioned into football management and recently worked with Southend United but quit before concluding his contract slated to last through to 2022. Campbell purchased the Hallington Hall residence in 2009.
Alongside his wife Fiona Barratt, an interior designer, the pair renovated the mansion and transitioned it into their dream home. That’s why they didn’t have trouble attracting a buyer when they listed the residence in 2015. However, they had to lower the listing price a bit from £5.95M to £5.25M.
Sergio Agüero – £4 million, Manchester
Sergio Agüero has helped both the Argentina national team and Manchester City achieve several wins with his noted goal-scoring track record. However, in the summer of 2021, he is slated to leave Man City for Futbol Club Barcelona. That might mean making new accommodation arrangements, but he occupies a lavish pad at Manchester’s Deansgate West Tower building until then.
The building welcomed its first occupants around June 2019, including Agüero, who actually converted two apartments into a swanky duplex. His specific condo occupies the building’s 44th and 45th floors, with a square coverage of about 3,180 feet.
Jamie Carragher – Price Undisclosed, Crosby
Football pundit Jamie Carragher formerly played for Liverpool, and he spent the 17 years of his career with the team. In 2020, CBS welcomed him to their Champions League broadcast team. He owns the pictured red-bricked abode located in Waterloo and shares it with Nicola Hart alongside their two kids.
The pair were childhood sweethearts and eventually walked down the aisle in 2005. He had to pop the big question twice because Carragher made the mistake of getting an ill-fitting ring the first time around. A five-year-old video of him showcasing the soccer memorabilia he has stashed at home resurfaced and went viral in 2020.
Peter Crouch – £4.5 million, Alderly Edge
In 2011, Peter Crouch left Tottenham Hotspur, which motivated him to sell his home in Cheshire. He purchased the 10,200-square-foot abode from Andrew Flintoff for a reported £4.5M. The six-bedroom mansion came with several attractive features, including an indoor pool.
Flintoff initially asked for £5M with the original listing but slashed down the price when it didn’t move. He spent £1.85 on the lot where the residence stands and flattened the previous dwelling to construct the current opulent abode. However, Crouch and his family were also setting roots in Surrey and shifted to the custom-built home in 2016.
Phil Neville – £5.25 million, Hake
The Major League Soccer club Inter Milan FC officially took to the pitch in 2020. Phil Neville is one of the team’s investors, alongside Simon Fuller, David Beckham, and Marcelo Claure. In his case, Neville also serves as the club’s head coach, and formerly, he played for Manchester United as well as Everton.
He once occupied the pictured six-bedroom abode in Hale bundled with features like an indoor pool, cinema, and an elevator. Neville expected to make £5.25M from the sale before reducing the asking price to £4.5M and closing it for an undisclosed amount.
Robin van Persie – £1.395 million, Hertfordshire
Robin van Persie started working as the assistant coach for the club Feyenoord Rotterdam in 2020. However, he’s better known for his playing days with Manchester United, Arsenal, and the Netherlands ‘ national team. His star power came in handy when he listed his former Hertfordshire abode in 2011.
Persie offered the Goffs Oak home for sale in 2012, and reports claimed that he listed the five-bedroom detached home for £1.395M. He called the residence home from 2006 and shared it with his wife Bouchra and their two children. Persie apparently also had a mini football pitch set up at the back garden.
Aaron Lennon – £2.6 million, London
Since September 2020, Aaron Lennon has been on a free transfer playing for the Turkish club Kayseri Spor Kulübü. Before then, he played for Barney, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Leeds United. He is believed to have formerly owned the pictured four-bedroom mansion located near London.
Set between Theydon Bois and Epping, the home is decked with attractive features, including an exercise facility, outdoor swimming pool, cinema, games room, and sauna. Records list that the last owner bought the home for £2.6M in 2007 against the previous purchase price of £2.45M.
Aaron Ramsey – £3.1 million, Cardiff
During their October 2020 match against Dynamo Kyiv, Juventus F.C. recorded a 2-0 UEFA Champions League victory. It was a special occasion for Aaron Ramsey as well because it marked his 50th UCL appearance. His £3.1M abode served as the best location to celebrate the victory.
Ramsey set roots in Cardiff with the purchase of the mansion in 2017, and impressively, he managed to bargain the price down by £1.4M. The 12,000-square-foot residence rests on 20 acres. Several comforts are accessible on the grounds, including an outdoor pool and a helicopter pad.
Jack Wilshere – £3.7 million, Hamptons
Christened the Cavendish House, Jack Wilshere put up his Hamptons house for sale in 2016, asking £3.7M. Construction of the six-bedroom super villa concluded in 2013, and it also comes with four reception rooms and a home cinema.
Jesse Lingard – £3 Million, Cheshire
Thanks to ‘MTV Cribs’ return,’ we were given a chance to get a peek inside ‘Manchester United’ midfielder Jesse Lingard’s home. Some of the things that stood out inside the five-bedroom Cheshire mansion were related to football, such as Lingard’s 28 England caps, debut shirt, and first United kit. It’s safe to say that the athlete is quite sentimental.
Of course, the home’s indoor swimming pool and outdoor play area caught fans’ attention as well. We bet it’s where the footballer relaxes whenever he’s off the field, joined by his wife and daughter. Lingard played for ‘Leicester City’ and two other teams while on loan before joining ‘Manchester United’s first team in 2015.
Marcus Rashford – £1.85 Million, Cheshire
One of the perks of being a skilled professional footballer is having the ability to buy expensive properties. So, Marcus Rashford did not waste any time before investing in a new extravagant house at Cheshire worth a whopping £1.85 million. Before the purchase, the ‘Manchester United’ star already lived in a beautiful home in Manchester with his mother and siblings.
The athlete probably had his family in mind when he bought the mansion, accommodating them with its six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Other incredible features of the property are the four reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen, and a double garage with space for a future gym.
Nicky Butt -£7 million, Hale
Once Nicholas “Nicky” Butt quit playing, he didn’t bid adieu to his former club and instead started heading Manchester United’s first-team development. He is part-owner of Salford City, a fourth-tier football team, alongside former Man-U teammates brothers Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes.
He owned this expansive home along Broadway Street in Hale that comes with amenities like a leisure complex, pool, and cinema. When he parted ways with Shelley Barlow in 2020, Butt listed the six-bedroom residence for £7M hoping to make a decent profit against the £4.4M purchase price.
Theo Walcott – £2 million, Hemel
In 2018, Everton signed up Theo Walcott for three and a half years, and from October 2020, he’s been on loan to Southampton. When the tides shifted since he started playing soccer professionally, Walcott bought a home in Hemel, Hampstead, for his folks. The house valued at £2M was robbed in 2011. The thieves stole items worth £40K from the residence but were eventually brought to book.
In 2018, a house Walcott owned in Hertfordshire came on the market with a £4M price tag. The listing detailed that the six-bedroom spread included a pool and gym. After failing to attract a buyer through the 2019 listing, he eventually reduced the asking price by £500K.
Patrick Vieira – £2.2 million, Wilmslow
Patrick Vieira got the boot in 2020 following a poor track record managing Nice, the French Ligue 1 soccer team. When he started the job in 2018, he sold the seven-bedroom abode he previously owned in Wilmslow, Chesire. He made a tidy £2.2M from the sale of the 6,500-square-foot spread.
The residence includes luxurious features, including a wine cellar, a private gym, and a pool. In the eight years that Vieira owned the mansion, he rarely stayed there because of his move to New York to serve as the Major League Soccer boss. He then moved to France and made the sound decision of offloading the estate.
Freddie Ljungberg – £1 million, Loch Lomondside
After making his professional debut playing for Halmstad, Karl Freddie Ljungberg achieved numerous accolades in his career. That includes 75 caps, two Premier League titles, and three FA Cups. Once he left his playing days behind, Ljungberg got into management and worked with Arsenal F.C recently as an interim head coach.
When it comes to accommodation arrangements, he bought a five-bedroom mansion located in Loch Lomondside for £1M. The manor is decked out with luxuries like a snooker room and a private lake. The residence is located near an area where the MI5 had a mysterious bomb explosion incident in 2010.
Ruud Gullit -£3.65 million, Wst Hollywood
Ruud Gullit served as a forward, attacking midfielder, or midfielder for Chelsea, Milan, and the Netherlands’ national team at the height of his playing career. He also managed teams like Chelsea. Recently, Gullit had to deal with the controversy surrounding an unauthorized dressing room video of the Dutch national team that surfaced on social media.
In his days with the LA Galaxy, he had the perfect spot in West Hollywood to turn down at the end of each day. He sold the ’30s paradise for £3.65M, which comes with four bedrooms alongside five bathrooms. Covering 3,200-square-feet, the villa includes a brick verandah, pool, and spa.
Alexandre Lacazette – £4.5 million, North Hollywood
When Alexandre Lacazette inked the lucrative £53M deal with Arsenal in 2017, he didn’t mind parting with a sizeable chunk on a home. He chose a North London spread that cost £4.5M also available for rent at £3.25K per week. The six-bedroom mansion includes a sauna and an indoor pool.
Arsenal is mighty proud to have Lacazette’s striking prowess on the team, and recently, during their March 2021 game against Tottenham Hotspur, he scored the winning goal. He previously played for the French football club Lyon and represented France’s national team.
Dennis Bergkamp – Price Undisclosed, Blaricum
The picturesque home in Blaricum, Netherlands, belongs to former football manager Dennis Bergkamp. Houses around the area cost £690k on average. Unlike most other players, he isn’t known for extravagances, and it is very evident from his choice of transportation. It has a thing to do with Aviophobia, and his refusal to ever fly anywhere earned him the moniker “Non-Flying Dutchman.”
Sources reveal that the unfortunate incident in 1994 when the Netherlands national team crashed while on their way home from the World Cup sparked his fear of flying. His son Michael started playing soccer professionally when he joined the Watford F.C. U23s in February 2021.
Bobby Charlton – £585K, Wales
Bobby Charlton’s reputation on the field as a midfielder precedes him, with a track record of helping the England national team win the FIFA World Cup in 1966. He received a Ballon d’Or for the feat and spent the better part of his career with Manchester United. The secluded beachside cottage he occupied with his wife Norma Ball helped him maintain a quiet life.
Located on the Isle of Anglesey, the couple used the four-bedroom abode as a vacation retreat for over four decades. They gave the Welsh house a facelift and eventually sold it for a reported £585K. We recently learned that Charlton has dementia.
Jermain Defoe – £3.25 million, Hertfordshire
In October 2020, Jermain Defoe recorded his 300th goal score playing for the Rangers Football Club in their match against Livingston. His loan with the Rangers kicked off in January 2019, but the team decided to retain him on contract from January 2020.
The above-pictured chateau once belonged to Defoe before he listed it in 2011 with a £3.75M price tag. When there were no takers a year later, he reduced the asking price by £500K, but the 7,000-square-foot abode still hadn’t attracted a buyer. The Hertfordshire mansion boasts of having a nightclub.
Gary Lineker – £4 million, Barnes
Fresh from the ’86 World Cup victory, Gary Lineker attracted the attention of the press. He didn’t like the invasion of privacy, and since he was moving house around the same time, he chose a modest yet charming house in a quiet neighborhood in Barnes.
The residence provides Lineker with everything he could ever need to live a comfortable life, including a fully-equipped workout room. Just that perhaps he now has more room than needed after splitting up with Danielle Bux, his second wife, in 2016. Lineker started a tenure as a visiting fellow at the Lady Margaret Hall, located within the University of Oxford, in 2020.
Michael Owen – £4 million, North Wales
By the time Michael Owen quit playing soccer in 2013, he had been part of teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, and Stoke City. He picked the sport of horseracing and breeding. He also regularly lends his soccer expertise to various TV programs as a commentator.
Owen set roots in North Wales with the purchase of a £4M estate in 2001. Occupying 42 acres, the house comes with a bar area, private training facility, and an indoor pool. Other highlights include a waterfall feature, stables, two cottages, and three greenhouses. The icing on the cake is undoubtedly the sprawling views of the lush countryside.
Ashley Cole – £6.1 million, Surrey
As a left-back, Ashley Cole helped teams like Chelsea and Arsenal achieve great wins. Critics and his fellow players even agree that he’s amongst the best of the best in his generation. When still married to Cheryl Tweedy from Girls Aloud, they purchased a home in Surrey in 2006.
The former couple reportedly spent £3.5M on the luxurious Hurtwood manor, which for some reason was £500K over the asking price. Once they went their separate ways in 2010, they sold the residence in 2017 and made a tidy £2.5M profit from the sale.
José Mourinho – £6.5 million, London
José Mourinho is slated to take over the mantle from Paulo Fonseca once his contract as the Roma boss concludes in 2021. He became etched into football history playing for teams like Rio Ave and Belensenses in the ’80s. Mourinho then got into football management and has worked with teams like Real Madrid and Chelsea.
When his Manchester United contract ceremoniously came to an end, he had enough time to spend with his family at their London home. He bought the six-bedroom spread for a reported £6.5M but initially eyed a Cheshire address that offered breathtaking views of River Irwell.
Pep Guardiola – £2.7 million, Salford
Manchester City’s boss, Pep Guardiola, resides at a two-bedroom flat in Salford. Housed within the Deansgate building, the City Suites condo is located within walking distance to trendy dining establishments and shops. The high-rise building offers luxurious services units for both short and long-term residents.
The 16-story building offers the occupants access to a Jacuzzi, a gymnasium, and an indoor pool. Guardiola paid £2.7M for the Chapel Street unit that he shares with his wife Christina and their kids. His current contract with Manchester City will run through to 2023.
David Seaman – Price Undisclosed, Hertfordshire
Retired goalie David “safe hands” Seaman guarded the post for teams like Arsenal and the England national team. His career saw him capped 75 times, and in turn, boast of being the nation’s second goalkeeper with the most caps. A shoulder injury brought his playing days to an end in 2004, and that’s when his career in TV started.
Seaman once called the pictured Hertfordshire residence home alongside his two children and wife Debbie. Upon their split in 2009, Debbie got the five-acre farm and custody of their children. Seaman also moved on and married a third time in 2015. He met his current wife, Frankie Poultney, as a participant on Strictly Come Dancing.
Mikel Arteta – Price Undisclosed, Didsbury
In 2016, Mikel Arteta retired as a soccer player, but his managerial career started at Manchester City. He played for Arsenal, Everton, and the Rangers Football Club in his days on the pitch. News that he would be leaving his post as Manchester City’s assistant coach spread on social media in 2019.
It all started when a moving van was spotted loading up possessions from Arteta’s Didsbury residence. The rumors started swirling around when Arsenal executives were spotted visiting his home earlier that week. It wasn’t long before the rumors were confirmed with his current contract with Arsenal that is slated to run through to 2023.
Bruno Fernandes – Price Undisclosed, Manchester
Bruno Fernandes moved to Manchester United in 2020, leaving Sporting CP, which meant a change of address. He found the best assistance in former French soccer star Paul Pogba who helped him found a suitable residence that met all his housing needs.
Pogba reportedly accompanied Fernandez on the viewings, and in just one day, they managed to visit three out of four potential homes. The search came to an end, and it’s a lavish Manchester pad that won the bid. Fernandes equally achieved other wins in his career, most notably earning the 2021 Player of the Year recognition from Manchester United.
Virgil Van Dijk – £3.15 million, Alderly Edge
When Virgil Van Dijk left for Liverpool in 2018, the former Netherlands national team’s captain realized that he also needed somewhere to stay in the UK. He didn’t have any problems finding the perfect home because Ole Gunnar Solskjaeer’s Alderly Edge abode fit the bill. He didn’t exactly fork out millions of pounds on the residence and instead rented the house from Solskjaeer.
When Solskjaeer took the position as manager at Manchester United, he needed his five-bedroom mansion back, forcing Van Dijk to start looking for other accommodation arrangements. Rumor has it that Liverpool has extended his contract with a lucrative £50M deal, which should give him more than enough cushioning to purchase a home.
Alisson Becker – £900k, Liverpool
Alisson Becker’s move to Liverpool in 2018 marked a high point in his career. However, it also came with challenges starting with the language barrier. As a Brazillian national, he had trouble communicating in English, and secondly, Becker also had to find a place to stay. The six-year contract worth £42.9M made the second part a bit easier, and he settled for a Liverpool residence.
The two-story abode in Woolton features five bedrooms, and the purchase reportedly cost him an estimated £900K. Becker broke history recently with a header goal block for Liverpool, making him the team’s first goalie to achieve the feat.
Jesse Lingard – £3 million, Cheshire
In his downtime, Jesse Lingard finds solace at his lavish Cheshire home. The residence cost a reported £3M and comes decked out with features like a sizable pool, training facility, and a tennis court. The Manchester United winger opened his doors to the MTV crew for an episode of the MTV Cribs show featuring his massive five-bedroom pad.
The residence proudly showcases Lingard’s soccer memorabilia, including caps and shoes. The house also comes with a cinema and pool. He is currently playing for West Ham United on loan, with rumors circulating that he might stay with the team or move to Chelsea or Aston Villa.
Frank Lampard – £10 million, West London
Frank Lampard has done a great job serving as the Chelsea Football Club’s boss from July 2019. Under his leadership, the team forked out $200M on major acquisitions during the summer 2020 transfer window. When he isn’t consumed with making such critical decisions, Lampard retreats to the West London home he shares with his wife Christine and their three kids.
His Instagram account is filled with snippets of their chic abode, which features several open living spaces alongside vast gardens. The residence is decorated in a neutral theme featuring lots of grey tones.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – £3.5 million, Dortmund
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had a bumpy year so far in 2021. He contracted malaria, and in March, Arsenal benched him over disciplinary issues. With his mother sick early in the year, he also missed out on a couple of games tending to her.
The heartwarming posts Aubameyang shared on his Instagram account celebrating his 11th anniversary show that there’s plenty he’s grateful about as well. He previously shared a 16-room Dortmund residence with his wife, Alysha Behague, and their two sons. They occupied the house in 2017, and it has luxury features like a lift, indoor pool, and cinema.
Arsene Wenger – £1.55 million, Barnet
Arsene Wenger, Arsenal’s former boss, resides at the pictured home on Totteridge Lane. The area in Barnet is known to attract celebrities because of the quiet roads and sprawling properties. Wenger, in particular, has lived on the street for over two decades, but his residence isn’t your typical footballer’s swanky pad. His residence is said to lean on the modest side.
Considered the most successful football manager, he also led Arsenal to numerous wins making him the club’s longest-serving boss. He is also credited for shaking up the player’s training and diet regimes. In 2020, Wenger released an autobiography titled My Life in Red and White.
Nemanja Vidic – £2.5 million, Wilmslow
Nemanja Vidic, a retired Serbian soccer player, is perhaps best known by Manchester United fans. He also represented the Serbian national team at various international football matches. Alongside Thierry Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo, Vidic is one of the only players to get recognized as the Premier League Player of the Season twice.
He eventually sold his modest five-bedroom abode in Wilmslow for £2.5M. Nestled in the golden triangle, the neighborhood is known to attract footballers in particular. In fact, a total of 11 former Man-U stars live along the private road. These days, much of Vidic’s time is spent serving as his former team’s ambassador as well as chauffeuring his three kids around.
Didier Drogba – £14.8 million, Canada
Didier Drogba’s career peaked when he played for Chelsea. With Phoenix Rising, he became the first player-owner of a football club. After retiring in 2014, he has collaborated with numerous brands on endorsement deals, including Pique and Laurent Koscienly. It’s part of the reason why he could splurge £14.8M on a seven-bedroom spread.
Drogba purchased the 8,600-square-foot abode when he joined CF Montreal. Given that he’s worth $90M, he gives back in several ways, including through his self-titled foundation. The charitable organization aims at helping at least three million people in Ivory Coast access education and, subsequently, employment.
Alex Ferguson – £1.5 million, Macclesfield
Sir Alex Ferguson needs little introduction to football fans who know him best from his days managing Manchester United. In fact, his son Jason released a documentary focused on his old man’s life in 2021 titled Alex Ferguson: Never Give In. Since retiring, he had a health scare in 2018 and underwent surgery.
In that trying time, Ferguson found comfort from family, particularly his better-half Cathy Holding, and their £2.5M Macclesfield abode. The family lived in a £1.5M residence along the same street, but in 2010 they moved to their current home.
