Vincent Kompany's £3.5m Cheshire mansion up for sale with its own football pitch

Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany is reportedly selling his six-bedroom Cheshire mansion and the luxury property features a swimming pool, sauna, games room, and a football pitch

Manchester City icon Vincent Kompany has listed his impressive Cheshire home for a staggering £3.45million. Kompany, 40, continues to own the remarkable property, despite taking charge of German powerhouses Bayern Munich two years ago.

The Belgian resided in Cheshire throughout his 11 trophy-filled years as a City player before moving into management with Burnley following a period at Anderlecht. The six-bedroom residence sits in a sought-after part of Cheshire, within easy reach of Manchester Airport.

According to The Sun, Kompany is now selling his 'arts and crafts' style home, which features six bathrooms, custom stone fireplaces, a swimming pool, sauna, games room, and a football pitch that also serves as a basketball court.

Last year, reports suggested that Kompany had cut the asking price by £300,000 to £3.65m in a bid to secure a sale. The Bayern boss has now reportedly lowered it further.

Kompany is married to Carla Higgs, a lifelong City supporter. She met Kompany during his time playing for German side Hamburg, and they now have three children - daughter Sienna (born in 2010) and two sons, Kai (2013) and Caleb (2015).

The couple tied the knot at Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire in 2011, the year before Kompany helped City secure their first Premier League crown. Collecting silverware has become routine for the former centre-half, who steered Bayern to the Bundesliga title on Sunday.

Spearheaded by England captain Harry Kane, the Bavarians have now claimed the championship in both campaigns under Kompany's leadership - and this time they're pursuing a treble. Bayern head to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday for a German cup semi-final before meeting Paris Saint-Germain next week in the Champions League last four.

Once the campaign concludes, Kompany will enjoy a well-deserved break after having minimal time off last summer owing to the Club World Cup. This comes despite receiving punditry offers from several English broadcasters for this summer's international World Cup in North America.

"Absolutely no chance," Kompany confirmed at a press conference on Tuesday when asked about the offers. "Why would I do that in vacation time? Then I wouldn't have any family in Munich next season. No chance."

The 40-year-old remains concentrated on the current season. Following Sunday's 4-2 victory against Stuttgart which clinched the title, Kompany said: "It's amazing. For me, every title is like the first, otherwise there's no point doing this job.

"These moments take so much work, and not just this season but over several years. You need to enjoy it when you get there. I've got emotions. That's not a problem. Anyone who sees me on the pitch knows that.

"But there's also calmness. In this moment it's just about enjoying everything. Tomorrow, we then keep going like we always do. The numbers are great, but it's not over yet. We keep going. It's also a question of mentality.

"We always give our all, whether in pre-season or for a competitive fixture. We're using our squad, want to enjoy football and have done that this year. And I don't want to stop yet. We've got crucial weeks to come. We're excited but also know how tough it'll be. Our belief is there, and that's very valuable in football."
