PSG star Marco Verratti robbed of £2.5m of jewellery at Ibiza holiday home

Police are hunting burglars said to have stolen more than £2.5million of valuables from Paris Saint-Germain star Marco Verratti's Ibiza holiday home.

The burglars broke into the property, which local press say belongs to former Brazilian international Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, in the early hours of Sunday morning while Verratti and his family were out. As well as cash, the criminals reportedly took watches and jewellery.

The break-in was reported to police on Sunday and is being investigated by the Civil Guard. The force has yet to make any official comment but police sources confirmed this morning (Tuesday) they were investigating a house break-in where expensive jewellery had been taken.

The house Verratti was staying at is believed to be in Cala Jondal in the south of Ibiza, where Prince William and Kate have enjoyed sunshine breaks at Kate's millionaire uncle's home called Maison de Bang Bang. There has not yet been any official comment from Italian international Verratti, who did not publicise his trip to Ibiza on social media.

His French model wife Jessica Aidi has been posting photos and video footage from the Balearic Islands with an ex-Miss France contestant called Charlotte Mint. Former footballer-now-Real Valladolid president Ronaldo, an Ibiza regular with his partner Celina Locks, has not yet said anything.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have both been holidaying in the Balearic Islands this summer, with Verratti's PSG teammate Messi picking a £250,000-a-week house on a private island called Sa Ferradura off the north coast of Ibiza.

Former Man United target Dani Olmo was robbed of his £23,000 Rolex in a violent June 17 mugging in which his brother was injured. The Spanish international was targeted as he left a hairdressers in the east coast Spanish city of Valencia.

The mugger ripped the designer watch off the RB Leipzig attacking midfielder's wrist before making his getaway in an Opel car driven by an accomplice. The footballer's brother attempted to stop the criminals speeding off by getting into the vehicle the accomplice had left on the pavement with its engine running.

An ambulance was mobilised to treat him at the scene for injuries he is believed to have suffered after being dragged along the ground.

On Monday, it emerged Manchester City and Scotland legend Willie Donachie, 70, had been mugged for his personalised gift Rolex while in Ibiza. The watch was gifted to him more than three decades ago by the Oldham Athletic board in recognition of Willie's success in promoting the team to the Premier League in 1991.

It was taken from him at the weekend as he walked past a restaurant in the Ibizan party resort of San Antonio when two men grappled him to the ground and stole the timepiece.
