Earlier today, the council published an official note which suggests that Milan and Inter are interested in exploring the idea of buying San Siro from them, which would be a pre-requisite for any work done by WeBuild, and that a meeting is scheduled for next month.
As Calcio e Finanza report, the clubs are keeping all options open, starting with their respective new stadiums in Rozzano and San Donato and they expressed that in the letter sent to the mayor of Milano Giuseppe Sala.
They put in black and white that they are working together again on the economic-financial aspects both on the hypothesis of redevelopment of San Siro (with particular reference to the plan presented by WeBuild).
Not only that, but the original idea presented in 2019 – namely the construction of a new stadium in the area of the current San Siro – remains on the table, although it is a complex idea considering the constraint on the second tier that will become effective in 2025.
Therefore, the clubs are studying three hypotheses together with technical and legal advisors: the purchase of the areas for the development of a new stadium, the purchase of the areas for the redevelopment of San Siro or the purchase of San Siro with a long-term concession of surface rights.
Moreover, the clubs had already made it known that they would evaluate the WeBuild plan only in the event that they were granted the possibility of also purchasing the stadium, in order to access revenues which are more towards those they would earn from their own new grounds.
