It seemed like this day would never come but after years of gossip, negotiations, Josep Pedrerol’s prayers and millions of euros in good spending, the French star finally stepped into the Santiago Bernabéu dressed in white and with the crowd smelling of it, in true Taylor Swift style.

In the excitement of seeing him in pristine white, what many didn’t think about was where Kylian Mbappé would live during his stay at the white club.

11 million mansion in La FincaThe answer for many is clear: in Pozuelo de Alarcón, the urbanization of La Finca, one of the most exclusive areas of Madrid, where he will share the same neighborhood with other footballers from Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid.

There, the new number 9 of the Madrid squad bought a 1,100 square metre property that ironically belongs to Gareth Bale for 11 million euros. It may seem like a high price, but Mbappé, who is a talented dribbling player, got a two million euro discount on the original asking price.

Design and luxury in Madrid’s most exclusive area. As noted Ok DailyMbappé’s new home is located on a 3,000 square meter plot of land with 1,200 square meters divided into eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a large kitchen, several living rooms and a terrace. There is a guest house separate from the main building.

There is also a magnificent heated indoor pool, another outdoor pool, basketball court, sauna, jacuzzi, gym, cinema room and a small football pitch in case the Real Madrid forward is missing. No less impressive is the contribution made by Bale, a big golf fan, by including a small golf course.

Space for seven vehiclesMbappé is an interesting case because, despite having a small private car collection, the 25-year-old forward has been so focused on his sporting career that he hasn’t had time to get a driver’s license.

Among the pieces in his collection is a limited-edition Ferrari 488 Pista worth around 500,000 euros. But since Mbappé can’t drive, he prefers passenger cars with all the comforts for the back seats: a Volkswagen Tiguan, a Volkswagen Multivan and a Mercedes V-Class, which will appreciate having a large garage.

Close to familyThe Madrid forward has also rented a second property nearby, although it is less luxurious than his own. The tenant of this second house will be Fayza Lamari, the French star’s mother and an important player in the player’s sports career.
