It makes sense, as generally speaking wages will be a much purer reflection of the value the player is to the successful buying/retaining club. Transfer fees do include that but also the context-specific value of the player to the selling club at the time, the price & availability of alternative players at the time (including ‘do nothing’ option), etc.
