Inter Milan and AC Milan are increasingly in favor of embarking on the San Siro renovation plans according to the latest reports in the Italian press.
The two clubs were initially aiming to rebuild a modern new stadium on the same site. However, their original plan was hampered by a series of bureaucratic hurdles.
This culminated with a restraint order preventing the demolition of the current stadium due to its historic and cultural significance.
Hence, the two clubs later split paths with each side looking to build its own ground on the city’s outskirts. Inter identified Rozzano as their new home while AC Milan went for San Donato.
Nevertheless, Milano Mayor Beppe Sala insisted on keeping the two clubs within the city walls.
He came up with a new plan to renovate the current Giuseppe Meazza Stadium rather than building a new ground.
AC Milan & Inter Milan To Say Yes To San Siro Renovation Plans
In June, WeBuild presented Milan and Inter with a detailed project. The company is now awaiting an official answer from the two Serie A giants who are evaluating the situation.
But according to Espresso via FcInterNews, Milan and Inter are leaning towards accepting the proposal.
They would eventually become the owners of the San Siro Stadium.
Moreover, the renovation works won’t prevent the clubs from playing their home matches at the Meazza. It will only cause
the partial closure of some sectors while the fans would still have access to the rest of the stadium.
WeBuild would begin the concrete works in 2025 and are aiming to deliver the project in 2029.
The total cost of the operation would be 350 million euros. This is significantly less than the original new stadium plan which warranted 1.3 billion.
