Madrid: Kylian Mbappé has bought Gareth Bale’s former house in an ultra-secure neighborhood

While he has still not officially unveiled the name of the club he will be playing for next season, the French national team captain has recently acquired the house of the former Welsh striker of Real Madrid.

Officially, we still don’t know where Kylian Mbappé will be playing next season. Two days after playing his last match for PSG in the French Cup final (won 2-1 against Lyon), a major clue has lifted the veil a little more on the almost transparent future that still hangs over him.

According to information from the Spanish website Okdiario.com, which we are able to confirm, the French national team captain has recently acquired a villa in a posh and highly secure district of Madrid.

Contrary to what has been circulating in recent days, it is not in “La Moraleja”, a sector particularly known for housing Richard Gere’s residence and located near Real Madrid’s training center, that Mbappé has chosen to make his home.

A neighborhood already chosen by Benzema, Ramos and Ronaldo

It is in the ultra-secure neighborhood of La Finca, where several Real Madrid players already reside, that the Bondynois will set up shop. The player has indeed bought back the villa of the Welshman Gareth Bale, a Real Madrid player between 2013 and 2022, for several million euros a few weeks ago.

La Finca, a small hill located in the municipality of Pozuelo, is about a thirty-minute train ride from the center of Madrid. The first to have popularized it was none other than Raùl, the legend of the Real Madrid attack. Since the early 2000s, he has been one of the stars of the city in general and the Merengues in particular to invest in this “Spanish Beverly Hills”.

If it is home to so many celebrities from the world of sport, cinema and music, it is because La Finca is one of those ultra-secure environments where you have to show your credentials to gain access. Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos or even Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have acquired a residence there for the peace and quiet, discretion but also the security that the various “checkpoints”, the obligation to have an accredited identity and license plate number ensures its occupants.
