You can take this approach:
First, use What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351to return the phone to factory fresh.
Then, use Set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202033 using the chosen Apple ID.

But, you also could create a new Apple ID this way:
See How to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316 and

See the data implications below.
Some of these things may apply even though not changing an Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under a new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed.
And see what Eric Root says on this matter here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251483565 and
what Winston Churchill says about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7452747

But, despite any other data loss you can set up family sharing between the IDs to share purchases made with them. See:
