Two areas in Madrid (Spain) chosen by football stars to buy houses are La Finca and La Moraleja. These are two areas with luxurious landscapes and living spaces, and are always loved by celebrities who always have a lot of money. There are exceptions though, such as Nacho, who prefers simplicity over extravagance. “My teammates find it strange that I live in Alcala, because it’s not where football players usually live!”, Nacho once confided.

With Mbappe , the French striker initially prioritized La Moraleja. More specifically, Mbappe chose La Moraleja for two reasons. First, there is the convenient transportation to Real Club’s Valdebebas training ground. While those living in La Finca have to go around the city center and travel about 35 minutes, those living in La Moraleja only take 15 minutes to get around. Another detail worth mentioning is that Mbappe also has a hobby of playing golf. Because of his passion for this sport, Mbappe also set the criterion of having a golf course on the premises when house hunting. Since then, finding a house has not been entirely easy because it must meet certain criteria that Mbappe set forth. 

Mbappe still does not have a satisfactory house in Madrid

In that context, there is news that Mbappe plans to spend 17 million euros to buy a super villa in La Moraleja. Spanish newspaper La Razon revealed that Mbappe’s future neighbors will include legend Sergio Ramos and his wife, model Pilar Rubio, and Hollywood star Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva. La Moraleja has long been an area favored by top La Liga players and other famous figures in Spain. It was originally a private estate owned by a widowed marquess until the mid-20th century, before it began to be built into family residences.

Some famous residents of this area include Spanish actress Ana Obregon, who was rumored to have had a relationship with David Beckham during his time playing in Madrid. They live in private grounds that are guarded 24/7.
However, the above plan collapsed when no agreement was finally reached. That’s why the former PSG striker’s current plan is to return to La Finca. Mbappe’s goal is to negotiate the house owned by former Welsh winger Gareth Bale. It is important to know that Bale, a golf enthusiast, has invested a lot of money in building a golf course on the villa grounds. 

Mbappe’s signing with Real Madrid will come true in the near future, expected to take place between the Champions League final and EURO 2024. Therefore, Mbappe has taken steps to map out a long-term settlement plan. long in Madrid. The only thing is, the French striker still cannot get the house he wants.
