Not bad imo
Same or similar yes. In traditional bussines board/ceo reports to stockholders/owner-s. In Barca football board reports to socios/members and club has to follow UEFA, FIFA and LFP (financial) rules.
The only mayor difference is that some clubs, usually clubs without defined ownership structure, don t have profit as their main goal.

According to the analysis done by our very own [MENTION=16751]Devils[/MENTION], the numbers in that UEFA report are about two years old while the numbers in the latest KPMG report are more current, which says we have the highest ratio of wage expense vs. revenues at 81%.
Thats what we pay for ajax i guess de jong will get a package as well so 90m or even more could be paid.
good PR going on
rumor 90M
Publish 75m + bonusses *wow such bargain* Best deal ever
I always think these bonusses are very PR related. When the barca board needs a win they give high bonusses that are easy to reach (play 20 games, don't relegate, no **** charges in the first 2 seasons) . When Ajax needs a win they are hard to get (win CL, win triple, play 100 games etc.)
That way barca comminucates 75 but pays 80+. Ajax will happily communicate 75 but bag 80+

^yeah.
To summarize:
-Those Real Madrid numbers in the UEFA report are wages reported when Cristiano was still a Real Madrid player
-The KPMG report (released Jan 2019) reports that Barcelona has the highest wage/revenue ratio, it would be expected this to be true seeing as Real's wages obviously decreased significantly with the loss of Cristiano, while Barca's went up even higher with Messi's renewal and adding Coutinho and Dembele.
-BUT The KPMG report included bonuses paid in their wage/revenue ratio calculation...and some reports are that Messi's signing bonus was estimated to be ~75m so that is a pretty significant chunk of that 81% reported. I also don't know if Coutinho and Dembele recieved signing bonuses, but that could have contribute to the 81% as well.
Conclusion: No doubt about it though that Barca at this moment have a higher wage bill than Real Madrid.

Its not purely a wage expense, its staff costs, which includes the decline in the value of our players.
