Inside Johan Cruyff's boyhood home where Barcelona hero lived with greengrocer parents and is available for fans to rent | The Sun

FOOTBALL fans have been offered the chance to rent Johan Cruyff's house… for just £150 a week.

Ajax, Barcelona and Holland legend Cruyff was born in Amsterdam in 1947.




He spent his first 12 years in the city's Betondorp suburb, where his parents ran a greengrocer's shop.

Future Ajax and Barca coaching icon Cruyff died in 2016, aged 68.

Fans from around the world have made pilgrimages to the modest three-room property at 32 Akkerstraat, Amsterdam.

It has been covered with fan messages, and its windows display pictures of its famous former resident.

Ymere spokesman Coen Springelkamp said: "Given the long waiting lists for social housing, the best solution is to rent this house out.

"But don't worry – we won't ask you to do keepy-uppies before we rent it to you."

The house offers two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, toilet, bathroom and a back garden.

And neighbours include devoted fans of Ajax, who Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag led to the Eredivisie title last season.

One local told De Telegraaf: "If a Feyenoord fan comes to live in the house, I'll throw a firebomb through the window."
