Inter Milan & AC Milan Face €80M Demolition Costs On New San Siro Project | OneFootball

Inter Milan and AC Milan will have to pay as much as €80 million to demolish large parts of the San Siro before building a new stadium.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the clubs will tear down 75-80% of the existing stadium.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are now going full speed ahead on plans to build a new stadium in the San Siro.

The clubs cannot completely demolish the existing stadium.

However, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri have worked together with the city to move towards plans to build a new structure in the same area. Just adjacent to the iconic stadium.

Inter and Milan have yet to formalize plans with an official proposal, however. They will have to make an offer to the city to buy the land on which to build a new stadium.

This would see the clubs definitively move away from plans to build separately and outside the city proper.

As part of their new stadium. Inter and AC Milan will tear down a significant part of the existing San Siro.

The clubs cannot demolish the third tier of the stadium. That is because of an injunction prohibiting the destruction of that iconic piece of architecture.

It was that injunction which initially led Inter and Milan to consider plans outside of the city of Milan proper.

However, as part of their current plans, Inter and Milan will still radically alter the existing structure of the San Siro.

The Gazzetta report that as much of 75-80% of the stadium will be demolished.

And this will be no mean feat. In terms of the tearing down the stadium as well as transporting the rubble away, the clubs face costs of around €80 million, reports the Gazzetta.
