Frenkie De Jong, the Dutch midfielder, holds the position of the highest-paid player at Barcelona, earning a gross salary of approximately 38 million euros. Barcelona has decided against renewing his contract, set to expire on June 30, 2026, due to what they perceive as unsatisfactory performance and frequent injuries throughout his six-year tenure at Camp Nou. Transfermarkt estimates his value at 45 million euros, a figure that some clubs might be willing to pay; however, his substantial salary poses a challenge, even for Premier League clubs. There is ongoing speculation regarding a potential move to Saudi Arabia, an option which his agent, Ali Durson, reportedly does not consider to be "folly." De Jong has been offered to four leading teams in the Saudi Pro League, including Al Ahly.
