Award-winning Singer, Shakira and Newly Retired Footballer, Gerard Piqué have reportedly agreed to sell the exclusive Barcelona mansion where they raised their two sons.
Gatekeepers News reports that the mansion is expected to range between £10.5 million and £12 million when it goes on the market.
The house is an exclusive gated residential estate in Esplugues de Llobregat around a half-hour drive from Barcelona city centre, with its own recording studio and gym.
Outside the five-storey property, consisting of two basements and three floors above ground, has a paddle tennis court and mini-football pitch where retired footballer Gerard played with his children.
The couple reached a child custody agreement last week where the Colombian Singer will move to Miami with their two sons, Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven while Gerard is living at a penthouse apartment in Barcelona’s trendy Muntaner Street with his new girlfriend Clara Chia, 23.
Shakira remains at the luxury former family home but is expected to leave early for the States in the New Year as long as her father William Mebarak, who has been in hospital, is well enough to make the trip to the States.
The custody deal was met after a 12-hour meeting with their respective lawyers which ended in the early hours of last Tuesday morning.
Later in the day, Shakira and Piqué confirmed in a joint statement: “We wish to communicate that we have signed an agreement that guarantees the welfare of our children and that will be ratified in court as part of a mere formal procedure.”
“Our sole objective is to provide them with the upmost security and protection, and we trust that their privacy will be respected.”
‘We appreciate the interest shown and hope that the children can continue with their lives with the necessary privacy in a safe and calm environment.”
It was signed, ‘Shakira and Gerard.’
The singer-songwriter is relocating to Florida with the couple’s two sons as part of the deal.
According to Respected Catalan daily El Periodico, Gerard will have his children 10 days a month from next year plus holiday time.
He is expected to start house hunting shortly so he can have a base in Florida.
Shakira owns a £14 million mansion in Miami she had put up for sale in 2018 before removing it from the market a few months ago.
Gerard’s relationship with Barcelona-born beauty Clara emerged shortly after he and Shakira announced in May they had split after 11 years and two children together.
She faces a tax fraud trial in Barcelona in coming months so she will have to return if she moves before the case comes to court.
