Why do players move clubs?

Footballers often move clubs for various reasons, including seeking new challenges, more playing time, or better wages. For clubs, it's about strengthening their squad, managing finances, or offloading players who no longer fit their plans. In this story, Napoli wants Jesus as a replacement for Lukaku, while Arsenal might sell him to avoid losing him for free.
