ALEXIS SANCHEZ had a less-than-desirable end to his Premier League career with Manchester United.
Alexis Sanchez has earned more than £115million over his playing career
Sanchez lit up the Premier League in three-and-a-half stunning years at Arsenal
Add his three-and-a-half years at Arsenal to his time at Barcelona, Inter Milan and Marseille, and Sanchez has earned well over £115million throughout his football career.
And Sanchez has not spared any expense on some of the nicer things in life.
The forward lives a luxurious lifestyle with his true loves, a pack of four dogs that includes two golden retrievers named Atom and Humber.
Sanchez, meanwhile, is clearly a splurge-er—his collection of supercars is valued at over £750,000.
Not to mention the additional transportation options available to Sanchez, such as private aircraft chartering.
On the road, though, Sanchez is anything but a saint.
He was once banned from driving in his homeland of Chile after being caught speeding at 96mph in a 75mph zone just outside the capital of Santiago.

Bentley Bentayga Black Edition – £160,000+
In 2019 Sanchez opted to add an SUV to his collection.
Much like former team-mate David de Gea, who has an impressive car collection of his own, Sanchez added a luxury SUV to his collection.
However, unlike ex-club-mates Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku – who splashed £250,000 on a Rolls Royce Wraith – Sanchez went for a Bentley Bentayga.
The monster Bentley, capable of going from 0-60mph in just four seconds, could set punters back anywhere between £156,000 to £259,000.
This five-door 4×4 comes equipped with a V8 engine, – last used by F1 cars in 2013 – four-wheel drive and can reach a top speed of 180mph.
The Black Edition which Sanchez opted for came with a little juice up on both its performance and design.
Mansory, a luxury car modification firm from Germany, added some of their unique flare to the mix on the wheels and its diamond-polished rim surface.
In addition, the rework with Mansory saw the car given a power boost, with an extra 10mph of top speed and increased torque.
The luxury Bentley Bentayga can be sold for up to £259,000
Bentley Continental GT – £186,000
The Bentayga is not the only Bentley in Sanchez’s collection.
He also owns a Continental GT, another Bentley beast in its own right.
Like the Bentayga, the GT has a V8 engine.
However, the GT possesses more power than its sister car and can therefore reach a higher speed of 198mph.
It can also reach 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds.
The price of the GT is also more than a match, with estimates placing it between £186,000 and £273,000.
Sanchez also has a luxury Bentley Continental GT
Range Rover Sport – £84,000
Keeping with the theme of British cars, Sanchez also has a Range Rover Sport.
The vehicle accelerates to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, which is significantly slower than the aforementioned Bentley’s.
Not that Range Rovers are usually built with speed in mind, but it is also much slower, with a top speed of 135 mph.
Sanchez’s motor experienced its fair share of hiccups in 2018, despite Range Rover setting the MSRP of this variant at £84,000.
When Sanchez got back to his car after eating at a restaurant, he saw that his front wing had been scraped—a relatively little but costly bit of damage to repair.
Two weeks later, Sanchez’s poor luck persisted when he parked his car on double yellow lines outside of another Wilmslow eatery, earning him a fine from a traffic warden.

Audi R8 – £135,000+
Talking of damage, Sanchez was fortunate to not be killed in a car crash when he was still at Barcelona.
Sanchez was driving his Audi following Barcelona’s Copa Catalunya final win over Espanyol in 2013 in the early hours of the morning.
However, at 2:30am Sanchez crashed into the central barrier on a motorway close to the city centre.
The incident saw Sanchez land in hot water with the law after he abandoned his mangled car in the road without notifying the police.
Sanchez had been picked up by an unnamed team-mate following the crash.
Local press shared pictures of the stunning incident and described Sanchez avoiding injury as a “miracle”.

Lamborghini Huracan – £200,000
Sanchez hired a Lamborghini Huracan while on holiday in Miami
.
Few supercar manufacturers can equal Lamborghini’s skill, so it makes logical that Sanchez would purchase one while visiting Miami in 2016.
The 2.8-second 0-60 mph time of the Italian-made vehicle makes it one of the fastest ever produced.
It can also reach up to 201 mph, however it’s unlikely he would be able to accomplish that given Miami’s 70 mph speed restriction laws on highways.
When traveling to a foreign nation, renting a car is a standard practice; the Arsenal star at the time probably did the same.
However, the cost of this kind of activity is high; depending on the model, renters charge between £483 and £2,421 each day.
At retail, the Huracan can go for between £164,000 to well above £200,000 depending on the model.
