You absolutely can if you're not run by an oil patron.

Bayern is well managed, Juventus is being trialed for cheating on that, Barcelona had to give away several of its best players, RM is well managed, Liverpool had to get some very lucky sales to get to their new golden age, Inter had to sell, etc.

To be fair, the Americans have a very strict and different sort of salary cap. They need to fight for good deals on players otherwise they‘re screwed for years. EU football is very different. You don’t hear that they need to give away assets to get rid of a player.

They're going to build a new stadium, now owned by both

The San Siro has been for a long ass time the stadium of the city of Milan, from back when football wasn't professional still. So they kept continuously the ownership. Bureaucracy, a hellbent city administration, etc but now the situation of San Siro got so bad, and the city ownership of stadiums is so disliked, and the city administration got a bit more open minded, that they approved plans to the building of a stadium in another part of the city. All self financed by AC Milan and Inter, but they'll have the full ownership of the stadium. Will be called cathedral or something, kinda pretty stadium.
