PEP GUARDIOLA is expected to move out of his £8.5MILLION family home after he and his wife reportedly split. The Manchester City boss, who has three grown-up children with his fashion boss wife Cristina Serra, has always stayed at the family home when back in the Catalan capital.

The luxury property in Barcelona's most-elite neighbourhood was once owned by Nou Camp legend Rafa Marquez. Guardiola, 53, bought the pad for £8.5m through a company he ran with his wife from a Russian businessman in February 2021. The four-storey house, near to a six-mile stretch of dirt tracks on the outskirts of Barcelona called Carretera de les Aigues, has a large swimming pool in its grounds.

It occupies a plot of more than 22,000 square feet and the house itself is an impressive 8,000 square feet. Catalan press seized on the house purchase, which was made public in June 2021, as a sign Guardiola could be planning a return to Barcelona following Joan Laporta’s election as its president.

Cristina moved into the property two years after leaving Manchester to return to her home city. However, it is now being reported that Guardiola will move out of the property following his split from Cristina. Respected Spanish news outlet El Confidencial described the mansion today as “the perfect place for a separation without anyone discovering when you leave or enter”.
