Milan Mayor Remains Hopeful Of Resurrecting San Siro Renovation Project: “It’s Still An Open Game”

The mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala remains vigorous in his attempts to revitalize the San Siro renovation project.

The stadium saga has been a major headache for both Inter Milan and AC Milan over the past few years.

The two rivals launched a shared project in 2019, aiming to demolish the current Giuseppe Meazza Stadium and build a modern one in its stead.

However, a wave of bureaucratic hurdles hindered their plans. The authorities eventually placed a constraint preventing the clubs from tearing down the current stadium due to its historical and cultural significance.

This prompted Milan and Inter to head in separate directions with each club planning to build its own new ground in different areas in the outskirts of Milano.

The Nerazzurri chose Rozzano to host their new home, while the Rossoneri opted for the San Donato region.

Nevertheless, Milano mayor Sala is still desperate to keep the two Serie A giants within the city walls.

The municipality of Milano is looking to work its way around the restriction imposed on the stadium. They came up with a new plan to renovate the San Siro and will be looking to convince the two clubs.

“I am convinced that it’s still an open game,” said Sala as reported by ANSA via FcInterNews.

“This is a very important step for the future of the stadium.”

The plan would reportedly cost 300 million euros. The Milano municipality should explain it in detail to Inter and Milan in an attempt to win their approval and avoid what would be a costly exodus for the city of Milano from economic and social perspectives.

[This is what came up first after I Googled "Sala Milan mayor stadium"; sorry it is from the Merda fansite. ]


I wonder if either Inter or Milan would be naïve enough to sit down with him again.

A €300m plan to convince Milan (and Inter) to stay at San Siro proposed, basically a rework of San Siro with more capacity, modern devices, a theme park, etc. https://www.milannews.it/news/il-progett...art-523387

Not really sure this makes sense at this point, especially at 300 million

Milan need to have their own new identity.  Stadium and we need a lethal board to be a real threat to inter and juve. 

And we need a long term coach with vision. 
I can't stand watching this inter anymore

Does anybody knows (more or less) exact numbers between having and not having stadium? How much money it brings per year?

I am losing count of how many back and forth there is about staying at San Siro, with Inter, not with Inter, San Donato, etc.

Barbara is quoted as saying:
"The issue of the stadium is humiliating for a city like Milan, a symbol of modernity and innovation that has always been ahead of its time. An Italian comedy, made specifically to decide nothing."

I also lost interest in trying to find the party to blame. The management, the owner, Sala, Inter infiltrator...

Barbara is right. It IS a comedy, so let's just sit back and enjoy/laugh.

Idea to buy the San Siro for 200 million, joint with Inter, then develop it together. Not sure what is the point of this and Italian bureaucracy.

Makes zero sense. We are not allowed to demolish it because the 2nd tier is considered to be some kind of "monument" and there is some law preventing anyone from doing anything to it.

There isnno sense in doing anything in that area. Italian red tape is holding the entire country back. It's sad really...
