The Mayor of Milan, Beppe Sala, is set to meet with AC Milan and Inter in the coming days to understand if they have any interest in the San Siro renovation project.
Earlier in the month, the plan to spend €300m on San Siro to improve the stadium itself and the surrounding areas was unveiled at the City Hall.
As mentioned, this appears to be a pressure tactic to get the Rossoneri and Nerazzurri to pump the brakes on their plans to build new homes outside the council’s realm of influence.
According to the Milanese edition of Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), a meeting between the Giuseppe Sala, Milan and Inter is expected next week, during which the Mayor wants to know the ideas of the two clubs and understand if there is interest in the restructuring of the San Siro.
The newspaper then also reports Sala’s words yesterday: “I think it’s still a wide open game, we’ve seen everything in recent years. Has Milan purchased the land in San Donato? It’s a step forward, but I continue to be confident and maintain dialogue with the clubs.
“If I didn’t see possibilities for San Siro on their part, I would look for other solutions, but in my opinion there are still some.
“The contacts with the two teams are continuous. Milan are certainly ahead but we have already said this. But I believe the game is still open.”
We outlined in our recent Substack update that there have been developments on the San Donato front, for Milan with the project variant being approved and a timeline now in place for the works.
Last year or two years ago he needed at least a couple of months to be able to meet with the clubs or to think about their proposals, now he wants to meet every week, lol. What a slime, I hope he’s left with nothing soon.
What’s to discuss? The muncipality of Milano are the owners of the stadium, they collect the rent from both clubs for years, let alone generating money from tourists and foreign fans that come there for the game. It should be renovated ages ago. They want more money? F*ck this clown.
The only solution that could possibly keep one or both teams at San Siro is for the city to sell the stadium to the clubs! Just investing in renovation and re-renting does not solve the basic problem that clubs want to leave for.
Round and round and round we go…..
99 year lease at €1/month each club and maybe they hear you out. Oh wait you want more then just what tourists bring you in town from games. Hmmmm
No thanks! Next …
gotta make it look like it isnt his fault San Siro will become a ruin of a stadion by the end of the decade 😀
He should have put more effort into the proposal of the clubs when they wanted the San ,Siro area the space that was their would have been able to build another stadium , and still renovate the San Siro….it’s already to late for Milan, but inter might be interested….
