POP: The most expensive homes of footballers (Part I, PHOTO)

The section of "EuroFootball.com" that is gaining more and more momentum, "POP" invites you to review the most impressive footballers' homes. In order, let's list the owners of these structures.

10. Kaka (€2.4 million). Almost 1400 square meters of a house that the footballer from Brazil purchased in 2009 when he moved from "Milan" to "Real" in Madrid. Inside the building, you can also find a gym, a pool, and a garage that fits six cars. Kaka is currently playing on loan in his homeland, and in winter he will move to "Orlando City" club, so his house is rented by... the most expensive footballer in the world, Gareth Bale. This house costs almost €13,000 per month.

9. Andres Iniesta (€3.7 million). The house, where we can see the owner's name on the exterior, doesn't seem that big at first glance. However, in the house built in 2005, the "Barcelona" midfielder can enjoy five bedrooms, a pool, and a chapel (Iniesta is known as a Roman Catholic).

8. Mario Balotelli (€3.9 million). Although the Italian national team striker no longer lives here, Balotelli's house in Manchester is definitely worth mentioning in this list. The building still belongs to the footballer, but the new "Liverpool" acquisition is renting it. The monthly rent is €17,500. Representing "Man City," Mario could enjoy a pool, a wine cellar, a private theater, a golf course, four bedrooms, and four bathrooms at home.

7. Lionel Messi (~€4 million). The winner of four Golden Balls is considered not only the best footballer in the world by many fans but also an excellent homeowner. Inside this structure, there is a spa, a private theater, and even a football pitch. Part of the house looks like a football. Although the exact value of the property is not clearly known, Lionel Messi undoubtedly took his love for football to a new level.

6. Cristiano Ronaldo (€4.8 and €5.7 million). The Portuguese purchased impressive mansions in 2006 when he still represented "Manchester United." Nearly €5 million was spent on the home for the best footballer of 2013, which included amenities such as a sauna, a private theater, a gym, a pool, and an aquarium. CR7 enjoyed all of this until 2008 when he moved to "Real" in Madrid, but the decision to sell the house only appeared last year. Neighbors are upset with Ronaldo's residence, claiming that it ruins the local landscape.

The current home of the UEFA Champions League winners' star is even more expensive. His house, located in the Spanish capital, cost nearly €1 million more. Ronaldo has seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a trophy room, and a place for children to play on 800 square meters. The Portuguese can also enjoy two pools and a garden.
