Toni Kroos, lives for rent in Madrid
The former Bayern star has been pulling the strings in Real Madrid’s midfield since 2014 and recently extended his contract until 2023. However, the 31-year-old and his wife Jessica have not yet moved into their own home. Instead, they live for rent in the villa of his fellow footballer Fernando Torres. The property is located in the exclusive Madrid district of “La Finca”, where Spain’s head of government Sánchez also resides, and covers an impressive 4,000 square meters. The ultra-modern villa boasts a spacious garden, a cinema and games room and a huge pool. Kroos may have to dig deep into his pockets for the monthly rent of 25,000 euros, but in view of his annual salary of around 10 million euros, it almost seems like a bargain.

The three-storey new build caused conflict with local residents in the run-up to construction. Excavators blocked the road on the Leeberg for months, accompanied by considerable noise. The delivery of the pool was particularly problematic, causing severe damage to the road. In addition, the unstable slope had to be stabilized with reinforced concrete to give the building the necessary stability. But the result is impressive: high above Lake Tegernsee, the Bayern goalkeeper has created a modern retreat for around 10 million euros. The property not only offers an outdoor pool, but also a luxurious indoor swimming pool and an underground garage with space for up to eight luxury vehicles. There are also positive developments in his private life: With a new love at his side, the dream of family happiness now seems more tangible than ever.
