The Mayor of Milano is “confident” about the future of the San Siro, but Inter Milan are still insisting on building in the Rozzano area.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews.
The futures of Inter, AC Milan, and the San Siro are becoming clearer virtually by the day.
After years of stalls and roadblocks in the plans by the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri to replace the San Siro, the two clubs have now been reorienting themselves in other directions.
It is Milan who have been going in another direction more aggressively.
The Rossoneri were the first of the two teams to lose patience. They started pursuing plans in the San Donato area.
And yesterday Milan took a big step towards making those plans a reality. They purchased the land on which they intend to build a new stadium,
It is now clear – the Rossoneri will build a new stadium in San Donato. And they will do so on their own, without Inter.
Milano Mayor “Optimistic” About San Siro – But Inter Insist On Rozzano
That still leaves two questions. Firstly, what Inter will decide, and secondly what comes of the San Siro.
As far as the fate of the San Siro, there will be no demolition.
After Inter and Milan had spent years trying to secure approval to tear down the iconic stadium and construct a more modern stadium, they faced the final, fatal bureaucratic hurdle of an injunction against doing so due to cultural and historic reasons.
So the city of Milano will not be doing so either.
The San Siro will be revamped. But not demolished altogether.
That could mean that the iconic stadium becomes a venue for concerts, and for the Italian national team.
Milano Mayor Beppe Sala is planning to meet with the clubs.
And according to the Corriere della Sera, the Mayor still has “optimism” that a solution for the San Siro can be found.
However, from Inter’s perspective, the priority remains moving forward with plans in the Rozzano commune.
