Four Million Euro Cheshire Mansion Targeted in Wednesday Night Raid
Bruno Fernandes had his six-bedroom residential property in Nether Alderley valued at approximately four million euros targeted by three masked intruders while he was in Italy, as reported by A Bola. The incident occurred on Wednesday evening during a Champions League fixture, leaving the property’s luxury jewelry and high-value items missing before emergency responders arrived.
The Cheshire property sits within an exclusive residential enclave known locally as the Golden Triangle. The 32-year-old midfielder chose this specific area of England precisely because it is known for its security, and his house is equipped with security systems. A neighbor alerted authorities around 20:30 local time after spotting three unknown men in the rear garden near a wooded area, prompting police to arrive within ten minutes of the call, though the suspects had already fled.

The timing of the break-in aligned with Manchester United’s fixture against Como, which ended in a defeat for the English club, according to reports. The team captain started the match and wore the armband before being substituted in the second half of the European fixture. The match concluded with a 4-1 victory for the Italian side, during which Nico Paz scored twice, Anastasios Douvikas and Jacobo Ramón also netted goals for Como, and Joshua Zirkzee scored a late consolation for the English team in stoppage time.

The player has lived in England since 2020 after leaving Sporting in Portugal to join Manchester United, and following the match, he offered strong criticisms regarding the team’s technical staff.
