Haaland, Vinicius Jr, Saka… What cars are the new football stars driving?

The world of football is closely linked to cars. We are not just talking about sponsors, but about the relationship between players and sports and luxury models.

The list of car fanatic gamers is long. David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo are the most extreme cases, players who have built a majestic collection of vehicles, although other players like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr. and Karim Benzema are not far behind. In Chile, Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sánchez are the most “fierreros” of the golden generation.

But Messi and Ronaldo’s time at the top of world football is slowly starting to give way to new players claiming their place. And just like the two great football phenomena of the 21st century, several are also very close to the automotive world.

Then we leave you a list with some of the new stars of world football and the cars with which they have been seen.

The Norwegian striker was the national team’s big sensation last season, where they reached the Champions League for the first time, as well as the Premier League and FA Cup.

Off the field, Haaland also surprises and follows in the footsteps of another great scorer, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, since the Nordic striker was seen driving a Ferrari Monza SP2. The Italian sports car is an exclusive edition, limited to 499 copies and its price is around 2 million euros.

The Ferrari Monza SP2 is a two-seater that a few years ago was named the most beautiful car in the world, a prize awarded by the jury of the 34th Festival International de l’Automobile de Paris, although the most striking and spectacular pass by its mechanics, since it has an 810 horsepower V12, with which it has become the most powerful engine created by the firm for a road vehicle, going from inertia to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds , with a top speed of over 300 km/h.

Now the Ferrari representative joins a hitting list owned by the 22-year-old striker. As published by the Marca newspaper, Haaland also has a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a Range Rover Sport P510e First Edition, a Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic Coupe, an Audi RS6 Avant Performance quattro in a garage. Impressive, just like the striker’s numbers in his first year with City.

The striker is Real Madrid’s big star. Barely 22 years old, the Brazilian will bear the responsibility of bringing the meringues back to the top of Europe. And just like some of his former teammates, like Karim Benzema, he loves sports cars, albeit with a more eco-friendly look.

That’s why Vinicius Jr. has chosen electric cars for the past few years. He had an Audi E-tron Sportback and now, after the change of sponsor from R. Madrid, he has brought home a BMW i4 M50, a four-door coupé which, thanks to its electric motors, is capable of developing 544 horses with a torque of 795 Nm. With this power, it is not surprising that it goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9. The price of this model in Europe exceeds 76 thousand euros.

But not only with the German house, the striker was seen. This week, we could see it when he arrived for training at the wheel of a Lamborghini Urus, the SUV of the Italian firm.

The 21-year-old Arsenal striker, one of the great promises of English football, already has some outstanding role models in his hands. On the streets of London he was seen driving a Mercedes-Benz GLC, although the most striking and noticed was the white Ferrari 458 Spider.

The Italian house’s sports car is a convertible that has been on the market for a decade, which is powered by a direct-injected 4.5-liter V8 that develops 570 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The talented Uruguayan midfielder of Real Madrid was also infected in the merengue team by sports cars.

In this case, the 25-year-old Uruguayan adds an Audi RS Q8 to his track record, then an Audi R8, although recently he was seen arriving for training in a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+, a spectacular four wheel-drive door model which, in its most radical version with a 4.0-liter V8 engine, reaches 639 horsepower, combined with a nine-speed sports box and all-wheel drive. It goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. Its price exceeds 200 thousand euros.

The 25-year-old Manchester United striker surprised everyone with an acquisition that bets not on sportiness, but on the ultimate symbol of automotive luxury, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

The remarkable British model has a value close to 355,000 euros and is powered by a 571 horsepower twin-turbo V12 engine.

But that’s not the only vehicle he owns, as UK media claim he also owns a Mercedes-AMG A45 Hatchback, Audi RS4 Avant, Range Rover Sport HST, Range Rover Sport HST, Mercedes -AMG GT63 S and a McLaren 765 LT. Nice collection of the Reds striker.

The 23-year-old Portuguese striker from Atlético de Madrid is a loyal user of BMW, a firm from which he has already acquired several SUVs, but in its sportiest version.

It’s the BMW X6M. The model has over 600 horsepower and takes just 3.8 seconds to get its huge volume from 0 to 100 km/h.

Another model of the player for which they paid more than 120 million euros is the M8, a sports sedan capable of exceeding 300 km/h. It is one of the Portuguese favourites.

Finally, another model associated with the old Benfica is the BMW X4 M40i, a model capable of delivering 510 horsepower with a huge torque of 650 Nm, going from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds.
