Pep Guardiola is reportedly planning to purchase a £13.5 million mansion in Barcelona after leaving Manchester City, according to The Sun. The 55-year-old manager is expected to depart the Premier League club at the end of the season after a decade in charge.
The new-build property, located in the upscale Pedralbes neighbourhood, is just 100 yards from the marital home he once shared with estranged wife Cristina Serra. The couple began divorce proceedings in 2024 after 30 years together. The mansion features a swimming pool, gym, jacuzzi, and sea views.
Guardiola has managed City since 2016, living in Deansgate CitySuites in central Manchester while his wife returned to Barcelona three years ago. His departure has not been officially confirmed, but reports suggest an announcement could come on Sunday, ahead of an open-top bus parade on Monday to celebrate the club's domestic cup double.
In his 10 years at City, Guardiola has won 20 trophies, including six Premier League titles and the Treble in 2022/23. He has previously expressed interest in managing an international team. Ex-Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is the leading candidate to replace him.
