Today could be a key day regarding the plans for the new stadium that Inter and Milan aim to finally build together. After several unsuccessful attempts in recent years, it seems both clubs are on track now, proceeding rapidly towards completing the project.
The Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, announced this morning on the RTL 102.5 radio that Inter and Milan are soon expected to present their official offer and economic plan for the San Siro area—identified as the location for the new stadium: I hope today we’ll receive the clubs’ offer and economic plan. If we do, we’ll evaluate it and forward it to the City Council. The law requires us to conduct a public call for proposals lasting about 30-45 days, but with the premise that this area will be designated for football, and afterward, we can proceed with direct negotiations.
The Mayor also provided an initial timeframe: The goal is to sell the stadium and area to the clubs before next summer. After the 2026 Winter Olympics, the clubs will start construction of a new stadium next to the existing Meazza. It will take several years, and once complete, they’ll redevelop the old San Siro, which I think will continue to function as we know it until about 2030.
