PIC: Raheem Sterling’s dinky new car belies his €200k a week salary

Must have left his Mercedes in the garage

Raheem Sterling wants you to know that he cares about the environment.

He wants you to know so much in fact that he’s been pictured leaving Manchester City raining in the most untypical and underwhelming footballer’s car since we saw Jesus Navas exit the Ethiad in a Nissan Micra.

Sterling is one of the richest young footballers in England, earning over €200k per week, but when it comes to his favoured mode of transport, well, it seems he prefers the less is more option the week of the Champions League.

The player was spotted leaving training in a SMART car this week, which is quite a downgrade on what he usually drives

According to the Daily Mail, the automobile in question is a €16,000 Smart Fortwo Grandstyle Edition Auto that can reach top speeds of almost 100mph.

Almost.
