From what i believe we paid a small fee to Raiola maybe 5m or something and united paid about 20m
72.6 is how much profit we made from signing and selling Pogba after taking out expenses including wages etc.
I wouldnt be 100% sure that im right this is just my understanding.

As an investment analyst and someone who looks at financial statements frequently, it looks like there were other fees that are eating into the profit. Whether it is a payment to Pogba, a payment to Raiola, I do not know. Fact it, when looking at other transactions (like Morata's), the P&L impact is referencing the capital gain (which is sale price - book value) less relevant expenses. Wages would not be included here.
The profit must be 105-0.5-x = 72, where x refers to some sort of additional fee. The accounting isn't encouraging here, and I can promise that wages are not a factor in the P&L impact.
