Former England captain Sol Campbell is ‘being sued for £810k after pulling out of buying £3.85m London flat’ in Cadogan Square

Sol Campbell is 'being sued for £810,000' after he 'withdrew from the purchase of a £3.85 million flat' in London, according to reports The sun.

The outlet claims the former England captain and his partner, Fiona, had made 'a ten per cent deposit of £387,500' on the apartment reportedly located in Cadogan Square, in Knightsbridge.

The owner of the property, Lady Jadranka Beresford-Peirse, had reportedly said that the couple had 'signed a contract to purchase the flat in 2021' but had not paid the outstanding balance.

According to The Sun, she has now filed papers in the High Court claiming losses of more than £800,000.

The news channel states that Lady Jadranka has “accused them of breach of contract after they failed to pay the outstanding balance of the apartment.”

She is also said to be 'seeking an order for the couple to purchase the flat and pay her damages'.

In 2021, Ny Breaking had reported that Campbell, who won 73 caps for England, had put his Grade II listed eight-bed Chelsea mansion up for sale for £24 million.

It is also understood he has knocked £4million off the price of the property in 2022.

Campbell enjoyed a glittering career as a player, winning the Premier League twice with Arsenal and would retire from professional football in 2011 after spells at Tottenham, Arsenal, Portsmouth, Notts County and Newcastle.

After hanging up his boots, he would move into coaching, taking on the position of assistant manager with the Trinidad national team alongside head coach Dennis Lawrence.

He would subsequently be appointed manager of Macclesfield and more recently Southend United.

Campbell married interior designer Fiona Barratt, the granddaughter of Sir Lawrie 'Brickie' Barratt, the founder of Barratt Homes.
