Where do the footballers live in Barcelona? So are their luxury houses

Barcelona footballers prefer privacy and quality of life to the bustle of the big city. However, the soccer stars who work daily in Barcelona are mainly divided between two large areas: Gavá and Esplugues. Although there are some who prefer the most select luxury in areas like Pedralbes.

This is how Barça players live

The Barça players are more divided than those of Madrid. In the case of the white team, they usually opt for the large luxury developments in Madrid. But, the footballers of the Catalan team are divided into two large groups: those who prefer the beach and those who bet on the tranquility of the mountains.

Leo Messi has a spectacular mansion in Castelldefels, on one of the most impressive mountains in the area. The house also has truly enviable views of the sea. His brother Rodrigo lives near Messi and in Gavà Mar, the Argentine has another house very close to the beach, where his parents usually stay.

Luis Suárez lives very close to Messi, in a house for which he paid just over 2.5 million euros. Suárez was living for rent in Gavà Mar (one of the footballers’ favorite residential areas) in a house for which he paid 12,000 euros per month. At the end of the renovation of his house in Castelldefels it was another colleague, Ivan Rakitic, who moved into this house.

Neymar has been renting for years in Pedralbes. In a house for which he also paid 12,000 euros a month. With his recent departure to PSG, we can only speculate which will be his favorite residence option in Paris. Although what is clear is that luxury will be the general trend.

For their part, Piqué and Shakira also chose the exclusivity of the Pedralbes neighborhood, where they bought a dream mansion for which they paid more than 5 million euros.

Ciudad Diagonal is another of the residential areas, full of luxuries, chosen by Barça soccer players. Shakira and Piqué have lived here. Andrés Iniesta also lives in the area, very close to Arda Turan, who pays the most expensive rent for Barcelona footballers (21,000 euros per month).
