You'll always be a stepping stone until you consistently challenge for the league tbf. Even Man Utd was a stepping stone for Ronaldo.
Even Henry and Vieira wanted to leave at different times.
If a player is good enough to demand to goto Real/Barce and we have the money to replace it's not a major issue. The issue is when the player goes, the rest of the top players want to leave, the money isn't re invested and/or top players won't sign.
