During a break-in on Saturday, it is believed that robbers destroyed Kevin De Bruyne’s Belgian home.

At the time of the raid, the Manchester City player, his spouse Michele, and their three kids were not present at the residence.

Items have been removed, according to Belgian news source HLN, but no other information was provided. Stepladders were utilised by the robbers to gain entry to the first floor of the Bolderberg, Heusden-Zolder property.

The 70-acre estate was purchased by De Bruyne, 32, in 2015. She constructed a natural white stone mansion, which she finished in February 2019.

The home has a basketball court, jacuzzi, and swimming pool.

De Bruyne purchased a 70-acre tract of property in 2015, on which he constructed the mansion.

After Man City’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday night, De Bruyne—who earns approximately £425,000 a week—took a plane to Saudi Arabia for the FIFA Club World Cup.

According to HLN, the De Bruyne family spends the majority of their time in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and only occasionally uses the property when they travel to Belgium.

Due to a hamstring injury, the midfielder was unable to play on Saturday but was able to watch from the stands at Etihad Stadium.

However, he was included in Pep Guardiola’s 23-man team that left on Saturday night for the Club World Cup in the Middle East.

It is unclear if he would be able to play in Tuesday’s semi-final match between City and the Japanese team Urawa Reds.

Early in the season, De Bruyne participated in the FA Community Shield matchup with Arsenal. However, he was substituted out of City’s Premier League match against Burnley.

De Bruyne’s surgery-related hamstring problem has delayed his return to the pitch.

Over the weekend, he said, “It’s going really well.” It was a serious injury, so I had surgery. However, the new year—his initial return date—is drawing nearer.

In the past, De Bruyne and his spouse have captured the property on camera for social media posts.

I’m doing great and intend to return to the field shortly. My goal is to excel. It simply never ends [ambition]. I want to play for the greatest team in the world and to be their finest player. I continue to be inspired every day.

“Despite my four-month absence, I have endeavoured to adapt as a player in order to resume my previous level of performance.”

“I’m sure I’ll be alright once I’m back on the pitch.” All I want to do is keep getting better at football; that should be plenty.

After Crystal Palace rallied to tie at the Etihad on Saturday despite behind by two goals, City lost position in the Premier League title battle.
