Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar: How much are footballers' car collections worth?

N’Golo Kante and his beloved Mini Cooper are the stuff of legend.

Football fans seem to be absolutely besotted with the way that Chelsea‘s midfield general goes about his life and there’s no denying that his choice of motor contributes to that entire narrative.

The simple fact of the matter is that supporters really seem to hone in on the humility and unassuming aura that Kante gives off when he’s arriving to training in his inconspicuous motor.

Well, inconspicuous when he’s not driving a battered and bruised version of the iconic vehicle into Cobham having been involved in a collision with a lorry. But that’s a whole different story…

It just so happens that Kante appears to opt for subtler options than your typical footballer when it comes to automobiles, and that seems to be showing in the price department too.

That’s because new research by Vanarama ahead of the FA Cup final has delved deep into just how much some of the world’s most famous footballers are spending on their car collections.

The automative experts at the company have analysed the garages of 30 high-profile players, calculating the total value as well as how many daily wage packets it would take to afford it all.

Naturally, Kante finishes at the lower end of the spectrum with an estimated garage worth of £93,000, which has been buoyed by his purchase of the flashier Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.

But he nevertheless remains one of only four players in the study to have a car collection worth than less than £100,000 with Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker and Edouard Mendy also keeping things modest(ish).

N’Golo Kante drops a MOTM performance to help Chelsea reach the UCL final, then gets mobbed as he leaves in his Mini Cooper. What a guy
