Inter and AC Milan intend to build a
new stadium in the area of their current home, the San Siro, the
city council said after a meeting of the clubs' owners and
officials on Tuesday.
The Serie A giants are set to present an expression of interest
to realize a project to build a new stadium and develop the
surrounding area, along with guidelines on the
'refunctionalization' of the iconic San Siro, whose official
name is the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
The two clubs will buy the 98-year-old stadium and the area
from the city council.
The meeting featured Mayor Giuseppe Sala, managers from Milan
owners Redbird Capital Partners and Inter owners Oaktree
Capital, Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli and Sports Minister
Andrea Abodi.
The clubs had presented a plan in 2021 to build a new stadium
that was intended to replace the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza
But that project never came to fruition, after a regional
heritage commission listed aspects of the structure, effectively
meaning it could not be demolished.
That led the two clubs to explore options to create their own
homes and last year Milan presented a proposal to build a
70,000-seater stadium at San Donato Milanese, a town near the
south of the city.
