When you said the most expensive football player that means how expensive you can sell him it doesn´t matter his salary only matter is the revenue (for the club) for that player. \n\nI have to say that is Ronaldinho because he has a Contract Resetion Clause of 100 millions of Euros (it is the highest among the football players) that means if a club wants him and barcelona don´t want to sell him the other club has to pay the clause to release him from barcelona\n\nNow the best paid football player is Zinedine Zidane\n\nAnd the richest football player is David Beckham
