Explained in plain English

Why do clubs sell players?

Clubs sell players for various reasons. They might need funds for new signings, as Napoli does in our story needing another sale before buying Jesus. A player might also be underperforming, or their contract is ending, meaning the club could lose them for free later. It's all about balancing squad needs and finances.
