In the quiet hours of a Wednesday night, at least three hooded intruders set their sights on a player’s chalet, launching an aggressive assault that left the residence on alert. The scene unfolds around Valencia CF and the surrounding urban sectors, with attention drawn to the tower at Conill in Bétera and the team’s preparations in Majorca for an upcoming match. The incident marks a troubling moment as the club’s players shield themselves from risks off the pitch, even as their competitive schedule continues to demand focus and discipline from the squad.

According to detailed reports obtained by this publication, the disturbance began around 23:15 when two women, including the footballer’s partner, were inside the dwelling. The assailants waited for the other resident to return home, entering the property while the others slept. The hooded individuals forced their way upstairs, confronting the footballer’s girlfriend and attempting to control the scene. In the chaos, valuables including bags, watches, jewelry, and cash were seized, with an estimated total of around 150,000 euros taken. The break-in prompted an immediate call from the girlfriend to alert the footballer, followed by a security contact to inform the property management team and the club’s security staff. The episode is being treated as a serious breach of personal safety and property rights, underscoring the vulnerability faced by professional athletes in private spaces.

Mustafa and Castile—teams and teammates associated with the club—are noted as part of the broader security review, while Justin Kluivert remains with the squad in Majorca as preparations continue for the next fixtures. The Civil Guard continues its work to determine the sequence of events and identify all suspects, with a focus on prevention and rapid response for athletes and their families.

The full scope of the investigation remains under review as authorities compare this incident with similar break-ins reported in the region. Law enforcement is examining whether the attackers operated as a coordinated group targeting multiple homes connected to football players, aiming to exploit moments of privacy for financial gain. In the meantime, the footballer’s circle has reinforced security measures at personal residences and training facilities, emphasizing ongoing vigilance and cooperation with local police. The case highlights how professional sports figures navigate safety outside of game day, and how protective measures evolve in response to evolving threats, including risk assessments and rapid communications with security teams.
