Wilson has a management contract with him as well I guess. Taking a part of their salary when they move to another team is part of his business model I believe.
Regarding pay at M Sport vs Hyundai in Neuville's case I seem to remember an interview where he (or Gilsoul) said they didn't really earn anything in 2013 and moved back in with their parents.

I dont really believe in the Monster/Redbull clash in M-sport, i mean Serderidis and Sesks have been driving an puma withouth a single Redbull logo on their livery, why Solberg would be different?
Surely they can play it somehow different if there even is any discussion in getting Solberg into a puma.

It changes the game only if MSport has the deal with RB as a team; but if RB logos and co-financing appear on Pumas only via Driver contracts, then there should not be an issue to run 3 or even 4 pumas on different liveries. I think Solbergs issue is different to RB/Monster - could be even Mikkelsen level matter, where Solberg family is not ready to pay for Olivers drive, as they know that he is fast and there is nothing to prove left. Maybe only matter of consistency can be questioned.

It might be as with all M-sport youngsters that Malcolm will want his cut in the future for developing Oliver and Solbergs think tha it would be unfair and don't want to share with him. But if they miss Fourmaux then will need someone course Sesks and Munster won't do the job.

I also think that Solbergs would expect MSport to pay Oliver to drive, while Malcolm expects the opposite. But yes if Fourmaux leaves that might change things.
Olivers consistency on gravel improved a lot this year. But he needs to drive more tarmac if he aims for full seat.
On a related note it would be somewhat ironic if, after being hailed as best Rally2 an seemingly using lot of money on Solberg+testing, Skoda would end with no titles this year (no ERC or WRC2). Last time something like this happened was in 2020. (C3 won WRC2 and ERC, i20 won WRC3).
