5 teams that sell their star players and still do well

#5 Sevilla

Rakitic moved from Sevilla to Barcelona in 2014

Sevilla have bought well, sold well but have also won trophies. The Spanish side are the three-time defending Europa League champions, and have achieved this with numerous changes to their side.

They have won eight trophies in nine years along with a €160 million profit from player sales during that period. During this time, the fans have witnessed some high-profile players leave the club. Dani Alves, Carlos Bacca, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Ramos, Jesus Navas, Luis Fabiano, Alvaro Negredo are some of the many names.

Kevin Gameiro was the most recent player to leave the club. He was their main man last season and his departure to Atletico Madrid left many wondering who could fill the gap. However, new signings Wissam Ben Yedder and Luciano Vietto have stepped up.

Sevilla are performing well in La Liga and have also done well in Europe.
