The Milan City Council have claimed that the two clubs – AC Milan and Inter – want to explore the possibility of buying San Siro from them.
Milan’s pursuit of a new stadium is currently continuing on two fronts. On the one hand there is the mission to build a state of the art structure in San Donato, with the land already purchased and the Program Agreement process underway.
Then, on the other hand, there is the seemingly last-minute bid from the Council to keep them at San Siro, with WeBuild having put forward a renovation plan costing over €300m that would see it brought up to modern standards and would minimise the disruption.
Now, the City Council have published an official note which suggests that Milan and Inter – who are thinking about building their own stadium too, in Rozzano – are interested in exploring the idea of buying San Siro from them, which would be a pre-requisite for any work done.
“The clubs, together with a team of technical and legal advisors, are evaluating the technical and financial aspects, taking into consideration hypotheses relating to the purchase or the right to the surface of the stadium and the areas of relevance. A meeting between the municipal administration and the teams is planned for the second week of September,” it reads (via Calciomercato.com).
