Milan Mayor Confirms: ‘Expecting Inter Milan & AC Milan Plan To Buy San Siro By End Of February’ | OneFootball

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has confirmed that he is expecting plans from Inter Milan and AC Milan to buy the San Siro by the end of February.

Sala spoke to journalists, as reported by FCInterNews. He confirmed that the sale of the land for the stadium could take place in the summer.

Inter and Milan are reportedly planning to buy the land around the San Siro to build a new stadium.

For several years, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri had attempted to secure approval to tear down the iconic stadium, and build a new one in its place.

However, after that has proven impossible, the clubs have considered other possibilities. These have included building separate stadiums, outside the city of Milan but in the greater metropolitan area.

But now, it looks as though the clubs will instead build adjacent to the existing stadium.

That will require that Inter and Milan buy the land from the city. At the moment, the municipality owns the land, as well as the San Siro itself. The clubs rent the stadium from the city.

The wait for the clubs to purchase the land so they can finally begin work on their new stadium may not be long.

Milan Mayor Sala confirmed that “We expect that by the end of February, Inter and Milan will present new financial plans to us.”

“They will have to take into account the things that have come out of the public debate,” Sala noted. “And the resolution from the city council.”

The Milan Mayor continued, “From there, they have to find the formula for an offer.”

“Then, we’ll do what the lawyers tell us to do.”

“We’re fully behind the idea of selling the stadium and the land in the surrounding area before the summer holidays,” detailed Sala.

“To be precise, we’re expecting their plan by the end of February.”
