After their historical 2015/2016 triumph of wining the English Premiere League, the club chairman of Leicester City, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha is set to reward the historical team with a car.
According to report by Sportsmail reported that each player will received a Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive. The on-road price for the car is £32,670, so it is a gesture that will cost Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha the best part of £1million.
The billionaire who has already promise the historical team coach Claudio Ranieri‘s squad an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas for their championship success.
All that is in addition to a £6.5m pot split between the squad under the terms of the club’s bonus agreement with the Premier League.
However, Srivaddhanaprabha believes his over-achievers should be further rewarded for their extraordinary season and is looking at ways of doing so.
Leicester’s remarkable campaign has seen the club’s global profile sky-rocket and secured millions of pounds worth of extra revenue.
That will continue next season when they make their debut in the lucrative Champions League, and the tycoon feels it is only right the players receive their share of the pie.
Srivaddhanaprabha can afford it, of course, given he is worth £2billion. Nevertheless, it is the latest show of generosity from Leicester’s owner – who has been know to provide free beer for supporters at the King Power Stadium on match-days.
