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.

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.

Not in baseball which is where he comes from. Only has a soft cap where teams have to pay a penalty of 20%-50% of the value of any payroll over the cap.
