This year’s Premier League transfer window has been interesting to say the least. After inflated spending the last couple of summer and winter transfers, this year’s January window has been uncharacteristically quieter.
While some question whether the Premier League financial bubble has burst, Autotrader have been doing some research and looked at the top 20 Premier League players by their transfer value and the value of the cars they drive. While the top 20 players’ list consists of the usual suspects like Haaland and Rice, the cars on their driveway vary massively from luxury cars like Lamborghinis to recognisable models on the roads such as the Audi Q3. Here’s the full list of the 20 top-valued players and the average used car value of their vehicles:
England international and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, listed as the 16th most valuable player at £70 million, topped the league table with his Rolls-Royce Cullinan Blue Shadow valued at £328,355.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli and Man City’s Jack Grealish rounded the top three with their Lamborghini Urus’ valued at £217,768 and £210,860 respectively.
While Erling Haaland topped the charts for the highest-valued Premier League players, last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner came eighth in the used car value ranking with his Audi RS6 Avant valued at £82,013.
Another footballer who may surprise you with his vehicle of choice is the Argentine footballer Julian Alvarez. While he is the third highest valued player in the Premier League, Alvarez stands at the bottom of the top 20 used cars chart with his Mercedes-Benz A200 Wagon having an average value of £24,049. Although the list of cars features many unique styles, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport was easily the top model owned by those featured with three players driving the car, while Mercedes was the most popular brand with six players having a car from Mercedes.
