A study conducted by the Polytechnic University of Milan on behalf of the Milan city council has shown that it is possible for San Siro to be renovated although it would be very complicated, according to a report from Calcio e Finanza.

Inter and AC Milan have presented plans to build a new state-of-the-art stadium to replace San Siro but have faced fierce competition from residents in the area as well as local councillors, many of whom have insisted they would rather see the clubs remain at San Siro and renovate it.

The two clubs have made it clear they have zero intention of staying in San Siro, that was built in 1926, and renovated twice since, most recently ahead of the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

As per the report, due to a load of safety measures, the look of San Siro would have to be changed a lot if renovation work, which would be very costly, were to take place. Maintenance costs after possible renovation work would also have to be factored in.
