Milan Mayor Confirms ‘Negotiations Are Progressing’ With Inter Milan & AC Milan On San Siro

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has confirmed that negotiations are progressing with Inter Milan and AC Milan regarding the sale of the San Siro land. He provided this update to reporters, stating the clubs aim to purchase the land from the city.

Inter Milan and AC Milan plan to build a new stadium adjacent to the existing San Siro structure. This comes after initial plans to demolish the old stadium faced bureaucratic hurdles, leading the clubs to consider building separately outside the city. They view a new stadium as essential to remain competitive with Europe's top clubs in terms of infrastructure and revenue.

Mayor Sala emphasized that neither side wants to give anything away for free, acknowledging the clubs must look after their own interests. While expressing his own and other politicians' desire to move forward, he warned of significant obstacles and voiced concern about reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

Sala clarified the differing priorities: the city administration focuses on public interest rather than cash flow, while the clubs seek to balance their books. He stated negotiations are ongoing but revealed some city councillors have raised objections to the proposed sale price, despite it being certified by the Revenue Agency and the University.
