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.
