Inter Milan and AC Milan look all but certain to go their separate ways and build stadiums in different locations.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews, who report that the two clubs are now just awaiting what looks like inevitable confirmation of an injunction against demolishing the San Siro which would spell the end of their previous plans.

Inter and Milan have spent years trying to get to work on a new stadium to replace the San Siro.

The two clubs see a new stadium as absolutely vital to modernizing their infrastructure and increasing revenues. Their idea has been to demolish the existing stadium in the San Siro district, and build a new one in its place.

However, over the past few months, those plans have all but gone off the rails. Mounting bureaucratic delays have brought the clubs’ frustration and impatience to a head – particularly the Rossoneri.

Whilst there had been a public debate on the matter last fall, this led to little progress for the clubs.

Meanwhile, opponents of demolishing the stadium have been seeking an injunction against doing so.

Inter Milan & AC Milan To Go Separate Ways As San Siro Injunction Looks Inevitable

According to La Repubblica, everyone involved, from the clubs to the municipal government, see the injunction as virtually inevitable.

Whilst confirmation has not officially arrived, it should soon. The newspaper suggests that September could mark the point of no return – confirmation of the injunction would be nothing less than a death knell for the clubs’ San Siro plans.

The injunction would officially take effect in 2025, the seventieth anniversary of the construction of the stadium’s second tier.

In any event, La Repubblica reports, Milan are already preparing to go their own way. They are moving forward in the San Donato area.

The newspaper reports that the Rossoneri have purchased a parcel of land on which to build the stadium. Since the commune has already zoned the land for sporting purposes, they believe that they can begin construction by 2025.

Meanwhile, the newspaper reports, Inter are starting to look at the Rozzano area.
