For my amortisation figure, I normally add 30%. Historically comparing transfermarkt to statutory accounts they are 30% lower. This could be agent fees and player bonuses which are not included in the Transfermarkt figure. This works out to be £4 million per season. That’s only 0.3k more per season than Kouyaté cost. That looks like good value. Especially as he is 22 years old. If the club play their ...
