Manchester City star Jesus Navas joins team-mates in supercar brigade as he drives Porsche to training… as this time it’s Ilkay Gundogan who turns up in a Nissan
MANCHESTER CITY star Jesus Navas has joined his team-mates in the supercar brigade… as this time it’s Ilkay Gundogan who turned up in a Nissan.
The Premier League side’s procession of flashy motors into the Etihad Campus was for a time hallmarked by one out-of-place Nissan Micra.

Costing a mere £8000, the white hatchback belonged to Spanish winger Jesus Navas, who despite earning around £90,000 per week chose the small runaround.
But eventually in April last year, he ditched his Micra for something more akin to a top flight footballer in the form of a white Porsche – at least he was consistent in the colour!

And the 31-year-old winger, rumoured to be leaving City in the summer, drove the German sports car into training today alongside his team-mates who returned from the international break.
But City‘s Nissan story does not end there, with the sight of another player opting for a regular model in the Japanese range.

German playmaker Ilkay Gundogan has opted for a black Nissan Juke – a family car and mini SUV costing between £22,000 and £25,000 when bought new.

Despite being on £120,000 a week – meaning he can buy five Jukes in one seven day salary – the former Borussia Dortmund star has seemingly copied his team-mate Navas in the modest car stakes.
That is in stark contrast to his team-mates, who drove the typical footballers’ array of stunning vehicles – none more so perhaps than German youngster Leroy Sane’s army green matted Mercedes.

Although Argentine centre-back Nicolas Otamendi should probably lay claim to the showiest car with a £240,000 Rolls Royce Wraith.
While Navas chose a sportier Porsche, a number of players are more in favour of the 4×4 model, including Fernando and David Silva.
