Why J. Grealish shows off his £25,000 after being raided on Boxing Day

The Manchester City player, 28, was also joined by his Cockapoo, Skye, in the post which came after a raid at his home on Boxing Day.

MailOnline exclusively revealed detectives investigating the terrifying burglary now fear they won’t be able to find the gang behind the theft that saw £1million worth of watches stolen.

Jack purchased two Belgian Malinois in 2020 from security firm Chaperone K9, after Dele Alli was robbed at knifepoint.

Chaperone K9 have provided dogs to a number of big names, including Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford and former England defender Rio Ferdinand.

The England international and his fiancée Sasha Attwood, 28, have been warned by his advisers that ‘it’s just not worth the risk’ for him to store expensive watches and jewellery in their new Cheshire home in case they get targeted again.

A source said: ‘It’s not ideal. Like anyone else Jack wants his favourite things close by, so he can use them and wear them whenever he wants.

‘But he realises it does put him and Sasha at risk, so he’s taking on the advice and keeping many of his items away from his home.

‘He can access them easily and quickly – and if it makes Sasha safer when he’s away then it’s a massive weight off his mind.’

The decision comes weeks after City manager Pep Guardiola told the media players were receiving new advice designed to help protect them.

Meanwhile MailOnline also understands detectives probing the Grealish break in are concerned they have missed the ‘golden period’ for finding who was responsible.

Another source added: ‘There’s a growing concern the case won’t be solved and Jack will never see his stuff again. They’ve got leads, but little fresh information has come in in the past fortnight.’
