Juventus footballers' housing habits: from luxury villas to city center comforts
Juventus players are making strategic choices about where they live, reflecting varying priorities from privacy to proximity to the city's vibrant social scene. The trend reveals insights into their lifestyles and ambitions.
Luxury retreats and urban living: where juventus stars reside
Several players, including new signing Openda, have opted for lavish villas. Openda reportedly took over a property previously owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, then Paul Pogba, and briefly Aaron Ramsey. These homes often feature amenities like heated pools and gyms, mirroring the setups favored by former Juventus stars like Ronaldo and Pogba who used them for intensive training regimes.
However, a significant portion of the squad prefers the central areas of Turin. The historic center offers a blend of convenience and anonymity, with many new arrivals choosing residences occupied by departing players, creating a constant turnover of luxury properties.
Spalletti, the new coach, is also reportedly searching for a central home, following in the footsteps of former director Comolli. Those prioritizing seclusion often gravitate towards the hills surrounding the Gran Madre area, offering privacy without complete isolation. This choice is more common among players without families or significant personal obligations.
The preference for central locations highlights Turin's manageable size, even for high-profile athletes who still encounter fans seeking autographs and selfies. While some seek the tranquility of the hills, the city center remains the preferred hub for most of the Juventus team.
The choice of residence isn't just about luxury; it reflects a player's personal needs and how they integrate into the city's ecosystem.
