The mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala has claimed that Milan “are still looking for new areas” to build a new stadium, whereas Inter would prefer to stay at San Siro.

Upon leaving a meeting in the city centre on Thursday morning, which the Nerazzurri were expected to attend but did not, Sala was asked by reporters about the two Milanese clubs’ plans for San Siro going forward.

“Milan are still looking for areas, because unlike Inter they are aiming to build a new stadium,” he said.

“All I can say to the people of Milan is that we will try to find a solution before the summer holidays, and then if it’s not possible we can at least say that we tried.

“It would be a shame though, because San Siro isn’t at the same level of the stadiums in other international cities, despite it being a very charming venue.

“A new stadium could also be useful for the city.”
