Our top players are planning to spend around £250,000 on infrared and night-vision cameras, as well as round-the-clock security, for the duration of the tournament in Germany. They have also hired ex-special service personnel to guard their homes during the summer. The players, who are based in Manchester, discussed these plans at a recent gathering with their families.
Some of the top stars have even installed panic rooms in their luxury homes to ensure the safety of their loved ones. According to a source, the cost of security systems for a mansion is £120,000-£150,000, in addition to the expense of booking round-the-clock security for the Euros. Guards are being booked for the entire month of the tournament, in case England progresses to the final.
This decision comes in response to a series of high-profile raids targeting Premier League stars, including Grealish, who experienced a burglary in December at his new home. Grealish’s family was left shaken, and his fiancée had to raise the alarm as burglars made off with £1 million worth of jewelry and watches. In light of these incidents, England’s wives and girlfriends are said to be considering their own security team for Germany, with an estimated cost of about £100,000 for the month.
