Bayern Munich Star Kingsley Coman Faces Hefty Fine For Driving McLaren And Not Company Audi Car

Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman could be slapped with a hefty fine after driving to training in his £170,000 McLaren as opposed to his company Audi car.

The European giants have a lucrative sponsorship deal with Audi and the German manufacturers have provided every player with a brand spanking new whip since 2002.

Bayern players are expected to use their Audi cars to and from their training base as part of the deal.

But Coman has landed himself in hot water after he became the latest player to break the rule.

He drove to training in his stunning McLaren 570S Spider and is now facing a fine by the club.

The 23-year-old could be hit with a £43,500 fine after sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic warned the players he would serve out punishments for those who do not abide by the club's rules.

Recently, Philippe Coutinho and Niklas Sule have been spotted driving non-Audi vehicles.

The Frenchman apologised for driving his McLaren instead of his Audi.

"I would like to apologise to the club and Audi for not having come to training in my company car," he said.

"The reason was a damaged wing mirror on my Audi. Still, that was a mistake, of course I can see that.

"As a reparation, I will visit the Audi plant in Ingolstadt for an autograph hour as soon as possible and bring some attention to the employees."
