The Man City player was in Saudi Arabi when the break-in happened, local media said (Picture: PA)

The 70-acre mansion of Kevin De Bruyne, a Belgium Manchester City star, was been reportedly ransacked by burglars on Saturday.

De Bruyne, 32, his wife Michele Lacroix and their three children were not at the property in Bolderberg during the break-in.

Police believe the burglary took place between 4pm and 9pm and saw them use a stepladder to get inside.

Lacroix walked in to discover the mansion had been trashed, the Dutch newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws (HLN) reported.

Various items were swiped from the secluded luxury estate, the paper said citing the public prosecution office, but what was taken remains unclear.

Forensic experts are combing the scene as police hope to chat with neighbours and look over CCTV.

‘The investigation into what exactly happened is still ongoing,’ the prosecutor’s office said, adding: ‘It is therefore not yet clear who the perpetrators are.’

De Bruyne is currently in Saudi Arabia for the Club World Cup, playing as a midfielder for the Premier League club Man City.

But he had to sit out for his team’s match on Saturday due to a hamstring injury, watching on from the stands at the Etihad Stadium. 

City is set to play Japan’s Urawa Reds in the semi-final tomorrow – it remains unclear whether De Bruyne will be on the pitch with them.

He said over the weekend: ‘It’s going really well. I had surgery – it was a big injury. But we’re getting closer – closer to the new year.’

De Bruyne and Lacroix, an internet personality, bought the mansion in 2015.

Taking four years to build, the home has a pool, hot tub and basketball court.

HLN said the family uses the villa more as a holiday home as they instead spend most of their time at their other mansion in Wilmslow, a village about 10 miles from Manchester.

Made of white stone, the massive property sits on Zandstraat, a street which runs into the De Wijers nature reserve about 3.5 miles east of Lummen.
