The Milan city council has given approval to the plans of Inter and AC Milan to build a new stadium to replace the stadium ahead of the imminent start of the public debate.

This according to Italian football finance news outlet Calcio e Finanza, who report that the city council of the municipality of Milan, via the Urban Regeneration Department, has given the green light to the updated plans presented by the two clubs.

The Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri are waiting for the public debate on their new stadium plans, one of the key remaining bureaucratic hurdles before they can start construction on the new stadium.

The clubs had needed approval from the municipality first, after the city council had requested some changes to the plans, and a few days ago they submitted revised plans which included over 50,000 square metres of green space.

These plans have been approved, and this will be submitted for the start of the public debate scheduled for later this month.
