He's got his fair share of goals and assists + he's a rounded striker that does a lot more for the team than scoring goals. Ronaldo only went for that much cos of his age and cos Flo didn't value his contribution for some reason. I don't know what market you're looking at but 60 million might not even be enough to get you a Zaha so sure let's sell our player of the season for cut prices.
The reason is quite simple. When you have limited resources at your disposal, the most prudent thing you can do is to allocate those resources wisely. At the moment, we aren't allocating our resources wisely.
We have embarrassment of riches when it comes to strikers and attacking midfielders while lacking depth and quality when it comes to centre backs and wingers. Therefore, unless we can acquire more resources, we should look for opportunities to allocate our resources more effectively.
It's not nice but it's what we have to do if we want to succeed.
