Inter Milan & AC Milan Hold “Positive Talks” With Milan Mayor On Building New Stadium Next To San Siro

Inter Milan and AC Milan have held “positive talks” with the Mayor of Milan on the possibility of building a new stadium next to the San Siro.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Yesterday, Inter and Milan firmly rebuffed the idea of Milan Mayor Beppe Sala to have the two clubs remain at a refurbished San Siro.

The Mayor had been working with architectural firm WeBuild.

WeBuild presented plans to the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri over the summer. These would have seen the San Siro renovated to meet the clubs’ needs.

However, WeBuild’s plans did not convince the clubs.

Yesterday, Inter and Milan made clear to Milan Mayor Sala that they are rejecting the idea of staying at the San Siro.

The two clubs are insistent. They feel that only building a new stadium will be sufficient.

According to the Corriere della Sera, however, all is not lost as far as Inter and Milan staying within the city limits of Milan.

The two clubs have each been working on stadium projects in the greater metropolitan area. Inter in Rozzano, and Milan in San Donato.

However, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri are ready to instead build a new stadium together.

And the clubs would certainly consider the idea of building an entirely new structure in the San Siro area.

Inter and Milan cannot demolish the existing San Siro. There is an injunction against tearing the iconic stadium down.

However, the clubs could potentially build a new stadium within the same area, close to the existing one.

According to the Corriere della Sera, there were positive talks between the clubs and Sala yesterday.

There are a few major issues that Inter and Milan want to understand better before moving forward.

Firstly would be the prospects for buying the land to construct a new stadium. Naturally, the clubs need to know the value of the land, and the timeline for purchasing it.

Then, there is the matter of the injunction against demolishing the San Siro.

Inter and Milan asked Sala for more clarification on how this would potentially affect their construction plans, and on the prospects for modifying it.
