Midfielder N’Golo Kante, who is known as a very simple player, recently surprised many people by parting with his beloved Mini Cooper that had been with him for 5 years to change to a Mercedes supercar.

Kante is one of the irreplaceable pillars as Leicester and Chelsea were crowned Premier League champions. Considered the best scanner in the land of fog at the present time, the French player is quite a simple person off the field, in complete contrast to his courageous play on the field.

With a salary of £290,000 per week at Chelsea, Kante could buy himself expensive cars, but no, the former Leicester player chose a Mini Cooper for only £20,000. This is the car that has been with Kante for the past 5 years, since he first moved to Leicester in 2015.

When Leicester won the Premier League title, Kante was given a BMW i8s worth up to £100,000 by the late president Vichai. However, the French player is still “faithful” to the Mini Copper by declaring: “The Mini Cooper is the first car I received since I was at Leicester. Up to now it still runs well.”

The first Mini Copper car purchased in 2015 was brought to France by Kante. After moving to Chelsea in 2016, he continued to buy another car, the car that was involved in an accident in January 2018.

However, in the first practice session after returning from the Covid-19 pandemic, Kante decided to upgrade his car. The French star decided not to use his favorite Mini Copper and changed to a new, sharp Mercedes.

Also related to Kante, although he has returned to Chelsea to practice , he does not have a strong mentality due to fear of the Covid-19 pandemic. This forced Chelsea’s Board of Directors to decide to let Kante decide when to return, it could even be the start of the new season, as long as the midfielder reaches the most stable psychological state.
