    But, even though his wages were sky-high – he was sensible when it came to his motor choices.
    Suarez shunned supercars by Ferrari and Lamborghini, unlike some of his team-mates.
    Instead, he went with trusted brands like Audi, BMW and Land Rover.
    That doesn’t mean he skimped on the cost, though.

    It can reach 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds.
    Audi SQ7, £87,000
    Hotshot Suarez must have learned a thing or two about Audi cars during his time at Barcelona.
    The Catalans were famously sponsored by the German manufacturer until 2019, with the big stars scoring classy company cars.
    His SQ7 comes with a powerful TDI V8 engine and a turbocharged diesel 4.0-litre engine.

    Cadillac Escalade, £90,000
    Usually seen carting celebrities around in LA, the Cadillac Escalade is a chauffeur’s car.
    It is the heigh of American luxury, and a massive car to lug around.
    Measuring 17ft long and weighing 2.6 tonnes, the engine is a massive 6.2-litre, naturally aspirated V8.
    All of this means it’s not the fastest – with a top speed of just 105 mph.

    Hyundai Tucson N-Line, from £32,000
    When he played for Atletico Madrid, Suarez, again, opted for the club’s company car.
    The LaLiga giants had a deal struck with South Korean’s Hyundai, who produce excellent and reliable motors.
    And not long after, Suarez was seen around town trying out their Tucson N-Line model.
    It’s a sporty number with a 2.5-litre petrol engine.

    “The Jag is a car that only certain people know about.

    And when it comes to a motor, the Sky Sports pundit looks for something equally as reliable.
    From his trusted first car – a Ford Escort Hatchback worth about £2,000 to an Aston Martin he splashed the cash on when the Red Devils won the Treble, he’s had a vast garage.
    SunSport takes a look at what Roy has been seen behind the wheel of.
    Aston Martin DB7
    In 1999, soon after Keane became a Treble winner with United, he treated himself to a flashy custom-pained gold Aston Martin.

    He opted for a DB7, which ironically was never in a James Bond film because it wasn’t deemed cool enough.
    But, looking at it we have to argue. It boasts a 3.2 litre engine, black leather interior, and automatic gearbox.
    In 2020, the car appeared on Auto Trader for sale at a modest £24,000 – with just 60,000 miles on the clock.
    Bentley Continental
    In around 2005, Keane reportedly drove a classy Bentley Continental.
    Most read in Football
    Today, you can pick a model up from that year for between £18,000 to £24,000.
    But Keano would have paid far more than that – and north of £80,000
    After selling it to a showroom in Edinburgh, it was reportedly stolen by joyriders and later recovered.

    Ford Escort Hatchback
    Roy’s first car was a trusted Ford Escort Hatchback in the 1990s.
    It was frequently the best selling motor in the 1980s and 1990s, with an astonishing 4.1 million of them sold through three decades .
    The Escort was succeeded by the Focus in 1998 and gradually phased out of production.
    Given it was a sensible option, you can imagine his first top-flight boss Brian Clough would have approved.

    Mercedes C-Class
    Towards his later years at Old Trafford, Roy was seen driving a classy Mercedes into Carrington.
    The C-Class oozed luxury and comfortability, and was at an affordable range when it was released of around £30,000.
    That, obviously, made it a gateway into many car enthusiasts first taste of a Merc.
    Although, they weren’t zippy. They’d go no faster in a 0-60 mph sprint than between 5-11.5 seconds, depending on the model.

    Toyota Yaris
    It’s not known if Roy owned it.
    But, back in August the kind-hearted TV pundit donated a £27,000 Toyota Yaris to a hospice in Co Cork.
    He told staff he would foot the bill for it to be auctioned off in a raffle.
    “Roy Keane’s incredible generosity means the world to us here,” said Enid Conway, fundraising and marketing manager at Marymount Hospice.
    “A huge community of people receive the special care delivered by Marymount. It is inspiring to see this acknowledged by anyone wishing to support what we do.
    “Marymount is a unique and essential force of care for families in Cork and further afield.
    “We are sincerely thankful for Roy’s gesture and the positive impact it will have for those in our care and their families. It really is a wonderful act of kindness.”

    You’re not a footballer, or haven’t been in football, if you haven’t owned a Range Rover.
    Roy owned an expensive £80,000 Sport model, but didn’t have much joy with it in 2016.

    In an unfortunate incident, he was taking the SUV through a car wash at a Shell garage in Altrincham, when the machine stopped and trapped his vehicle.

    Only 450 Veyron 16.4 Grand Sports were built, so of course Ronaldo wanted a slice of that rarity pie.
    It cost him £1.7m, and the Portuguese legend bought the car as a treat after winning Euro 2016 with his country.
    Though the car was involved in a crash in 2022 in Majorca. The driver, who was reportedly not Ronaldo, lost control and the car skidded into a wall.
    The front of the Bugatti was believed to have been wrecked with investigators revealed no other vehicle was involved.
    The driver of the car did not suffer any injuries and signed an accident report.

    Lamborghini Aventador, £260k
    Simply because a Bugatti Veyron won’t fulfil Ronaldo’s love of fast cars, in the same year he bought that motor he splashed on a Lamborghini Aventador.
    Made in 2011, it’s the most celebrated model by the Italian car designer – and owned by footballers all over the world, not scared of the outlandish price.
    Ronaldo celebrated his purchase on Instagram in 2016, with a picture with the caption: “Bom dia (good morning)”.

    Rolls-Royce Cullinan, £330k
    In 2020, Ronaldo added a Cullinan to his collection, having previously owned a Rolls Royce Phantom worth around £363,000.
    Showing his loyalty to his new employers, CR7 even personalised the interior with black and white leather.
    Standing at five metres long, the Cullinan boasts a V12 engine and a horse power of 571.
    It is the only SUV Rolls Royce have ever produced.

    Ferrari F12 TDF, £350K
    In 2017, Ronaldo bought an F12 TDF – another collector’s item with only 799 made in the world.
    It is certainly one of the favourites he owns, and is zippy with a top speed of 211 mph, and capable of doing 0-62 in 2.9 seconds.
    Needless to say, pet-friendly Ronaldo won’t let his pooches in though.
    A lover of supercars, this amazing Ferrari costs £350k
    Chevrolet Camaro, £35k
    Maybe he learned something from Sir Alex Ferguson about American cars, after all the former Manchester United boss drove a Chevrolet to training when he was Red Devils manager.
    A more economic motor than others in his garage, the Camaro has a 6.2-litre V8 engine that delivers 453 horsepower.
    It’s cheaper than anything else he owns, and was bought in 2016 as a family car.
    Showing that he doesn’t have to always drive flashy cars, Ronaldo was seen in an affordable Chevrolet

    McLaren Senna, £1m
    A car made as a dedication to the legendary Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, it would’ve set Ronaldo back around £1million – with only 500 models ever made.
    So enamoured by its performance on Top Gear, former presenter Jeremy Clarkson said of the McLaren Senna it has ‘rewritten the supercar rule book’.

    Powered by a twin-turbo charged V8 engine that produces 800 horse power, it can hit 0-62 mph in just 2.8 seconds.

    Inside Alexis Sanchez’s amazing £750,000 fleet of supercars including monster £160k Bentley and £130k Audi he crashed

    ALEXIS SANCHEZ had a less-than-desirable end to his Premier League career with Manchester United. However, this did not stop the Chilean from earning a pretty sum from his time at the club thanks to his £350,000-a-week contract.

    Add his three-and-a-half years at Arsenal to his time at Barcelona, Inter Milan and Marseille, and Sanchez has earned well over £115million throughout his football career.
    And Sanchez has not spared any expense on some of the nicer things in life.
    The loves of his life, a company of four dogs including two golden retrievers named Atom and Humber, enjoy a lavish life with the forward.
    But Sanchez’s splurges do not end there, as proven by a fleet of supercars worth over £750,000.

    Not to mention the other modes of transport Sanchez has at his disposal – including the chartering of a private jet.
    Although, Sanchez is far from a saint on the road.
    He was once banned from driving in his homeland of Chile after being caught speeding at 96mph in a 75mph zone just outside the capital of Santiago.
    SunSport has taken a look at Sanchez’s garage of supercars.

    Bentley Bentayga Black Edition – £160,000+
    In 2019 Sanchez opted to add an SUV to his collection.
    Much like former team-mate David de Gea, who has an impressive car collection of his own, Sanchez added a luxury SUV to his collection.
    However, unlike ex-club-mates Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku – who splashed £250,000 on a Rolls Royce Wraith – Sanchez went for a Bentley Bentayga.
    The monster Bentley, capable of going from 0-60mph in just four seconds, could set punters back anywhere between £156,000 to £259,000.
    This five-door 4×4 comes equipped with a V8 engine, – last used by F1 cars in 2013 – four-wheel drive and can reach a top speed of 180mph.
    The Black Edition which Sanchez opted for came with a little juice up on both its performance and design.
    Mansory, a luxury car modification firm from Germany, added some of their unique flare to the mix on the wheels and its diamond-polished rim surface.
    In addition, the rework with Mansory saw the car given a power boost, with an extra 10mph of top speed and increased torque.

    Bentley Continental GT – £186,000
    The Bentayga is not the only Bentley in Sanchez’s collection.
    He also owns a Continental GT, another Bentley beast in its own right.
    Like the Bentayga, the GT has a V8 engine.
    However, the GT possesses more power than its sister car and can therefore reach a higher speed of 198mph.
    It can also reach 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
    The price of the GT is also more than a match, with estimates placing it between £186,000 and £273,000.

    Range Rover Sport – £84,000
    Keeping with the theme of British cars, Sanchez also has a Range Rover Sport.
    The car is far slower than the aforementioned Bentley’s off the line, taking 6.6 seconds to reach 60mph.
    It is also far slower with a top speed of 135mph – not that Range Rovers are typically designed with speed in mind.
    Range Rover set the price of this model at £84,000, but that did not prevent Sanchez’s motor from seeing its share of bumps and bruises in 2018.
    Following a meal at a restaurant, Sanchez returned to his car to find that his front wing had been scraped – an overall minor but nevertheless expensive to fix piece of damage.
    Two weeks later the bad luck continued as Sanchez was struck with a fine from a traffic warden after parking his car on double yellow lines outside another restaurant in Wilmslow.

    Audi R8 – £135,000+
    Talking of damage, Sanchez was fortunate to not be killed in a car crash when he was still at Barcelona.
    Sanchez was driving his Audi following Barcelona’s Copa Catalunya final win over Espanyol in 2013 in the early hours of the morning.
    However, at 2:30am Sanchez crashed into the central barrier on a motorway close to the city centre.
    The incident saw Sanchez land in hot water with the law after he abandoned his mangled car in the road without notifying the police.
    Sanchez had been picked up by an unnamed team-mate following the crash.
    Local press shared pictures of the stunning incident and described Sanchez avoiding injury as a “miracle”.

    Lamborghini Huracan – £200,000
    Lamborghini’s prowess in making supercars is matched by very few, so it would make sense that Sanchez would pick one up during a trip to Miami in 2016.
    The Italian-made car is one of the fastest ever made, reaching 0-60mph in just 2.8s.
    It is also capable of reaching speeds of up to 201mph – not that he would be able to reach such heights due to Miami speed limit laws setting highways at 70mph.
    It is a common practice to grab a rental car when visiting another country, and this was likely the case for the then-Arsenal ace too.
    Such activity is expensive, however, with renters charging between £483 to £2,421 a day depending on the model.
    At retail, the Huracan can go for between £164,000 to well above £200,000 depending on the model.

    Sanchez has also been seen enjoying trips on luxury private jets, yachts and helicopters.
    He has been spotted on a yacht with his dogs, while he also took ex-girlfriend Mayte Rodriguez on a romantic helicopter ride that landed on a private stretch of beach in South America.
