Wednesday, January 29, 2025 - Athletic Bilbao forward, Alex Berenguer and his wife were reportedly victims of an attempted armed robbery at their home on Monday evening, January 27.
According to Spanish newspaper, El Correo, three armed men broke
into their villa in Mungia, a town in the Basque country.
The 29-year-old Spanish footballer was said to have fended off
the balaclava-clad robbers by managing to close a glass door, preventing
them from entering the home.
A gun was then reportedly pointed at Berenguer and his model wife
Sofia Jem.
The attempted robbery came to an end, with Berenguer having been
able to notify the police during the attack.
Spanish police have launched an investigation following the attempted
robbery, with the thieves having fled the scene.
Berenguer and his wife were both unharmed, with the pair yet to comment
publicly following the incident.
Berenguer is the latest footballer to have been targeted by robbers in
recent years.
Brighton player Valentin Barco's home was burgled last month, days after
his model and influencer girlfriend Yaz Jaureguy agreed to become his wife.
The break-in occurred at their new home in Seville, where Barco is
currently plying his trade after being loaned by Brighton in his first season
at the Premier League club.
