Did Liverpool want to sell Coutinho, Suarez, Mane, or Alexander-Arnold?
Did Chelsea want to sell Hazard, Courtois, Kovacic or Rudiger?
The only club in the world who doesn’t have to worry about clubs cherry picking their best players is Real...
They don’t do it routinely, and it’s their opportunity to upgrade if they choose.
We sell players we don’t want to lose, and only a fraction of it goes on an inferior replacement.
Makes perfect sense to sell players at the right time to get a decent return and invest that money on young talent.
This is the model we should have been doing years ago.
