The system hasn't been changed so what you say used to be before as well. A home-grown player at 20-21 has between 5 and 7K (euro). If you buy that player, then he will have at least 1K plus in his salary, indifferent if you pay just a few hundred euros or hundred Ks. If you play million(s), then his salary increases to some percent of the price (possibly 5% but I don't know exactly); anyway, it's directly linked to transfer price.
Also, for transfered players the salaries tend to drop after they spend time at a club, very little in the first season after the season when he was bought and a lot more in the second one, basically tending to be leveled as if it were home-grown (but I think it gets to that in the third new season he is at the club - difficult to say because you also increase his value by training).
