Fans have been left surprised after seeing the value of the car that Phil Foden drives to Manchester City training compared to his team-mates.
Foden's current contract at City expires in the summer of 2022, with the 24-year-old having signed a three-year extension back in October 2022.
The England international currently earns £225,000 per week, according to Capology, with that figure making him one of the top earners in City's squad.

Foden has spotted driving to the club's training ground in a lime green Audi RS3, as per TikTok user @mxp_psg.
It appears to be a saloon version of the model, which retails new at a starting price of around £60,000.
The midfielder passed his driving test in October 2023, while driving a Volkswagen hatchback.
Of the City first team squad, Foden appears to drive one of the cheaper cars, with Ruben Dias and Ederson each a driving Lamborghini Urus (over £200,000 new).
Kevin De Bruyne is said to own an Aston Martin DBX, which comes in at over £210,000.

Like Foden, meanwhile, reigning Ballon d'Or winner Rodri also drives an Audi, but instead pilots the updated RS5 Sportback model (£100,000).
And centre-back Manuel Akanji has been seen driving a Bentley Continental GTC, which ranges at between £250,000 all the way to over £300,000.
The one player in the video that has a cheaper car than Foden is Josko Gvardiol, who drives a Volkswagen Golf 8R.
The car retails at around £45,000 but can cost significantly more with modifications and other additions.
Part of the consideration for elite footballers when it comes to buying new cars is the insurance costs - some of which can total staggering amounts.

A 2021 study by MoneySuperMarket found that top footballers pay more in insurance premiums than any other profession, and up to five times more than the average car owner.
