Selling the world cup would give FIFA a one time payment and then less income forever. UEFA members have enough money to make themself work, so there is no need for that. The cup is also the biggest sporting even in a single sport. So more investment is not going to make more money.
The only one to really benefit from this is Gianni Infantino, as he probably gets paid a lot for that sale.

I agree he will benefit. But Gianni Infantino wouldn’t likely be the only one to benefit, though.
The lead investor for the FIFA subsidiary is reportedly Joshua Kushner, the younger brother of Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law.
The two brothers are said to be close. Their father, property investor Charles Kushner, pleaded guilty years earlier to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations, but was pardoned in 2020 by Trump, shortly before the end of Trump’s first term. Today, Charles Kushner is U.S. Ambassador to France.
An interesting detail here is that Joshua Kushner is known to donate high sums to politicians from the Democratic Party. His wife, the model Karlie Kloss, recently attended an event linked to former (Democratic) U.S. President Barack Obama, and she previously said that she never met and didn’t vote for Trump.
