Vincent Kompany, the esteemed former Manchester City captain and current head coach of Bayern Munich, has reportedly sold his luxurious family residence in Cheshire for £3,450,000 (€3,967,068). The sale is widely seen as a significant indicator of his long-term commitment to his coaching role in Germany, moving beyond his deep roots in English football.
A challenging market in the ‘Golden Triangle’
The sale comes amidst a challenging period for the high-end property market in Cheshire’s exclusive ‘Golden Triangle’, an affluent area popular with footballers, encompassing towns such as Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, and Prestbury. Kompany’s six-bedroom Arts and Crafts-style home, completed in 2009, had previously seen its asking price reduced.
It was reported by Bavarianfootballworks that the original asking price had been slashed by £300,000, bringing it down to £3.65 million. Ultimately, a property source suggested the buyer secured an additional £250,000 reduction from that adjusted price. “Very little is selling at that end of the market,” a property source, quoted by The Sun, commented on the local conditions. “I would think the buyer has agreed £250,000 off the asking price. Asking prices at the lower end have increased 20 per cent in a year but not much is selling.”
Despite the market difficulties, the successful sale of such a high-value property for Kompany signals a clear intent. As The Sun reported, “MANCHESTER City legend Vincent Kompany looks set to stay in Germany after selling his stunning family home in leafy Cheshire for £3,450,000.”

A luxury residence leaves Kompany’s portfolio
The former Manchester City defender’s residence was a substantial property, offering approximately 7,600 sq ft of accommodation spread over four floors. Set within about 0.70 acre of meticulously landscaped gardens, the home boasted an array of high-end amenities designed for comfort and entertainment.
The decision to part with such a well-appointed and long-term family home underscores Kompany’s dedication to his new chapter in German football.
Having taken the helm at Bayern Munich, the sale of his English base suggests a desire to fully immerse himself in his role and establish a more permanent presence in Germany as he builds his coaching career.
