A week ago, Jack Grealish’s home, worth €6.44 million, was visited by burglars. Several members of the player’s family were also present during these events. The thieves fled with loot amounting to €1.15 million. Shaken, the Manchester City player, who was with his team during the burglary, published a long message on his social networks.
“It is impossible for me to explain how devastated I am by the burglary that took place at my home a few days ago. My family means a lot to me and nothing is more important than keeping them safe. This was a traumatic experience for all of us, and I am very grateful that no one was hurt. I have had so many extraordinary experiences and successes over the last 12 months, but to be honest, the best year of my life in football is not something I can celebrate (…) People who commit these terrible crimes have no idea of the damage they cause to people’s lives. I hope they are found and brought to justice so that no other family has to go through what we went through.” The player did not emerge unscathed from these events.
