How to Sell Players in FM 23? 

• Click on the player you wish to transfer and list them for transfer. Wait for their reactions.
• Wait for clubs to bid for the player.
• Initial bids are usually lower than the players’ market value, so you may have to bargain a bit before selling the player.
• If no club bids, you can offer the player to a club.
• The player may have some objections that he will raise through his agent, so keep an eye out for that.
• You may need to discuss this with the player, but explaining that you want to raise some funds and will not necessarily sell them should immediately alleviate the player’s mood.
• When the bids come in, you will be able to negotiate.
• In addition to the base fee for the player, you can include performance-based bonuses and sell-on fees to include the overall transfer fee without putting the buying club in a tough spot.
• Negotiate carefully. If your negotiating tactics are too intense, clubs can pull out of negotiations.
• A player may also reject the move if you did not have a proper discussion with them beforehand.
• After you make the sale, the club will allocate a predetermined amount to your transfer budget.

Just like in real life, in-game players have egos, and as manager, your job is to manage them delicately.
