Despite that, players have often used cars from other manufacturers to get to training sessions, something which led to Bild reporting in January that players who broke this agreement had been threatened with a €50,000 fine by the club.
“I would like to apologise to the club and Audi for not driving to training with a company car,” Coman told Bild. “My Audi had a damage on one of the outside rear-view mirrors. Regardless, it was a mistake and I recognise it.”
The 23-year-old will also apologise to workers at the Audi plant in Ingolstadt but, according to Bild, he has escaped without a club fine.
“To make amends for my mistake I will visit the Audi plan in Ingolstadt as soon as its possible again and sign autographs and hand goodies to the employees,” the France international added.
