Clarke couple to buy $6.5mn flat?

Melbourne, Feb 25: Australian cricket team vice-captain Michael Clarke and fiance Lara Bingle are reportedly interested in buying a 6.5 million dollar Bondi apartment.

Last week, Bingle confirmed that Clarke's five-bedroom pad in Lilli Pilli, in Sydney's south, was up for auction next month, saying she wanted to move 'closer to the city'.

Now, a source close to Clarke said that the couple is 'very interested in a particular Bondi apartment in the 6-7 million dollar range'.

"It would suit Lara so much better - Michael is away so often and it's a lonely place for a young woman down there," News.com.au quoted the source, as saying.

"But it's a big price, and it would be financially tough even though Michael earns more than 1.5 million dollar a year - and there's only so many years left in his cricket career," the source added.

The property the couple is interested in is likely to be unit 601 of a recently developed block on Campbell road.

However, McGrath Real Estate, the agents for the property, was not prepared to comment on whether the couple was interested in the property.
