Phil Foden bought £2.85million home — close to Wayne Rooney’s old mansion

FOOTBALL star Phil Foden splashed out on a stunning home — a stone’s throw from Wayne Rooney’s old house.

The Manchester City ace paid £2.85million for the five-bedroom property in upmarket Prestbury, Cheshire, in 2021.

Foden, 22, previously lived with his parents in another £2.8million, five-bedroom home just three minutes’ drive away from his new place.

The village has long been a favourite with footballers and other stars — and Rooney lived there before moving to a £20million mega-mansion a few miles away.

A source said: “Phil loves living in Cheshire but felt it was time to fly the nest now he has two young children with his partner, Rebecca.

“It’s in his old neighbourhood so they feel very settled in already.”
