Why do clubs sell star players?

Clubs often sell key players like Carlos Baleba to generate significant income, especially if the bid is very high. This money can then be reinvested into the squad, facilities, or to meet financial targets. It's a balancing act between keeping a strong team and making smart business decisions for the club's future.
