Inter Milan and AC Milan will make their decision on whether or not to stay in a renovated San Siro after this summer.
This according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica, via FCInterNews. They report that architectural design firm have made it clear they expect renovations to take three years, but the clubs won’t make a decision right away.
Last month, WeBuild presented their plans to renovate the San Siro to Inter and AC Milan.
This was part of an effort by Milan Mayor Beppe Sala to keep the clubs at the stadium.
In the last year and change, Inter and Milan have been drifting towards the idea of building separate new stadiums in the greater metropolitan area of Milan.
This is the result of the continued bureaucratic hurdles that prevent the two clubs from tearing down the San Siro and building a new, more modern stadium in its place.
But Milan Mayor Sala’s hope is that if the stadium is renovated, it will convince the clubs to stay in it.
That is why Sala has been working with WeBuild. He is aiming to have the design firm modernize the San Siro so that the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri will feel that the stadium is adequate to their needs in terms of infrastructure and revenues.
Inter & AC Milan To Make San Siro Decision After This Summer
Today, WeBuild declared that they expect that the construction work on renovating the San Siro will take three years.
During this time, or at least for the vast majority of it, they expect that Inter and Milan will continue to be able to play in the stadium. That is a key aspect for the clubs.
The clubs have already known the details of the plans for a month now.
Inter and Milan have all the documents in hand from WeBuild. It will be up to them to analyze and assess whether they feel that the plans meet their needs.
That is what the two clubs are currently doing. Carrying out their analyses.
Both Inter and Milan still have alternate plans in mind, however. The Nerazzurri in Rozzano, and the Rossoneri in San Donato.
Therefore, the two clubs will have to choose between staying in the San Siro, or moving to those areas.
According to La Repubblica, a decision is not quite imminent, though. The newspaper anticipate that decisions from the clubs should likely arrive at the end of this summer.
