There's lots of reasons why that never happens, chief among them being the loans system. Big teams don't have to sell. They can stockpile as many players as they can afford and then just farm those they don't need out on loan. Sometimes those loans turn into permanent deals (Lukaku at Everton started there as a loanee from Chelsea) but most of the time they just provide cover for a season or two until they're recalled, usually to be loaned somewhere else. Chelsea alone have about 30 players currently out on loan.
