Galatasaray striker Mauro Icardi has selected a rare Rolls Royce model after his breathtaking start to the season in Turkey.
Icardi completed his permanent move to Galatasaray earlier this summer after being loaned to the club by PSG last season. He got off to a flying start, scoring four goals in three league games.
The 30-year-old is on the field and seems to be enjoying life off it too, having spent a whopping £26m on a new Rolls Royce called the Boat Tail.
The Boat Tail is the most expensive new car in the world and only three units of the model have been produced to date.
Icardi now owns one of them, and is in esteemed company, as billionaire rapper Jay-Z and his pop star wife Beyonce have been reported to own one of the others.

The third Boat Tail was sold to an industrialist who made his fortune in the pearl industry.
It is clear that the Boat Tail is no ordinary car, and that it takes four years for one to be built by hand.
It’s no wonder it takes so long, as 1,813 parts have to be assembled to make it a truly unique vehicle.
Attached to the four-seater convertible is a parasol and telescopic table that opens automatically, making it perfect for a picnic for two. If Icardi wants to make the most of that feature, the car includes Christofle silver cutlery and china plates.
There are also two refrigerators free to use, specially designed for bottles of champagne.
The car has almost 600 horsepower and also looks spectacular, with a rose gold woven wire trim and a rose gold grille.
Icardi is likely to turn heads on the streets of Istanbul in his new car, and he’s used to being in the limelight thanks to his tumultuous relationship with his wife and football agent Wanda Nara.
Icardi and Nara got together after she was previously married to his former teammate Maxi Lopez.
The pair have not been afraid to show their affection for each other and regularly posted steamy pictures together online over the years.
However, in 2021, Nara accused Icardi of being unfaithful and their relationship seemed to be over after she was spotted in his music video last year chatting casually with Argentine pop star L-Gante.
Icardi and Nara seem to have turned things around though, having posted another photo together wearing their wedding rings earlier this year.
