Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is expected to vacate his luxurious £8.5 million family home in Barcelona following his recent divorce from wife Cristina Serra, according to The Sun.
The stunning property had been Pep’s go-to residence whenever he visited his home city of Barcelona. Cristina is reportedly set to continue living there. The couple spent Christmas 2024 together in the house, accompanied by their three children—Maria (24), Marius (22), and Valentina (17).
Barcelona-based newspaper Sport reported that the couple decided to part ways in December. Their separation, however, was amicable and not related to third-party involvement.
The decision is said to stem from the long-distance nature of their relationship. Cristina moved back to Barcelona five years ago to focus on her business ventures, while Pep remained in Manchester, where he is currently working to navigate City through a challenging period.
In England, Guardiola is set to reside in a £2.7 million home located in Salford, Greater Manchester. This downsized move reflects both his new lifestyle and practical adjustments post-divorce.
