Nerazzurri CEO Beppe Marotta has confirmed that today Inter Milan took important steps towards new stadium plans.

Speaking to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri executive commented on the recent meeting where the club formally presented plans in the city of Rozzano, as well as on the Inter players in the Italian national team.

Earlier today, Inter executives met with the administration of the commune of Rozzano.

The Nerazzurri, led by Corporate CEO, formally presented their plans for a new stadium project.

Reportedly, the new stadium could potentially have a capacity as high as 70,000. And there would not necessarily just be a stadium – other commercial activities could also be part of the development.

Inter are going down a route that would see them completely abandon their existing plans to replace the San Siro.

The Nerazzurri’s city rivals AC Milan have already taken aggressive steps in the direction of alternate plans.

And if the Rossoneri build without them, then Inter will have their own plans for a new stadium. Like Milan, they are gearing up to build in an area outside the city of Milano.

The Rozzano area us close by to the city, within the greater metropolitan area. However, it is outside the city limits.

And now Inter look to be going full speed ahead on these plans. The club’s CEO Beppe Marotta confirms this.

Of the stadium, Marotta said that “The stadium is like a container for emotions and faith. The fans transmit it to the players.”

“It’s our home,” he added. “And obviously all clubs want to have one of their own.”

Marotta confirmed that “My colleague Antonello is the one taking care of it. Today was an important day.”

He added that “Our hope is that we can have a new home that can accommodate all of our fans.”

The Inter CEO also looked ahead to this weekend’s derby against AC Milan.

“I expect it to be a great advertisement for Italian football,” he said.

“It’s always a match with a special flavour.”

“Beyond the pitch, the thing that’s so beautiful is the entire confrontation between the fans, the chants, the choreography,” Marotta said.

Marotta Happy With Strong Inter Core In Italy Squad

Marotta also commented on Italy’s win over Ukraine in a EURO 2024 qualifier.

“I’m happy as an Italian to have seen the national team deservedly win,” he said.

“Yesterday there were four Inter players in the starting eleven for the Azzurri,” he observed.

“That shows that we’re moving towards a different model,” Marotta commented of the link with the national team.

He said that the Nerazzurri want “A strong core that will give us the groundwork to compete for certain objectives.”

And of Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, Marotta said that “He’s proven in recent years that he’s a great coach.”

“Now he’s getting excellent results. Things can only get better from here.”

Marotta then commented on the signing of midfielder Davide Frattesi during the summer.

“When a player has an explicit desire to join a particular club, then that club is at an advantage,” the Inter CEO explained.

“He wanted to wear the Nerazzurri shirt,” Marotta continued. “That made the signing easier.”

“We got it done without much difficulty. That was due to myself, Ausilio, Baccin, and Carnevali,” he added.

“But above all, it was down to Frattesi’s strong desire to join our club.”
