• Nathan Tjoe-A-On · Willem II · €2m
• Julian Baas · Sparta Rotterdam · €2m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
