Milan and Inter new stadium: three options on the table | OneFootball

Milan and Inter have confirmed that they won’t pay to renovate the Stadio Meazza, but they are interested in acquiring the San Siro area, so there are still three options on the table for their new stadium.

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala confirmed on Friday that Milan and Inter have rejected a plan to renovate the Stadio Meazza, but they are instead interested in acquiring the old stadium and the area around it.

San Siro can’t be demolished because of its cultural interest, so the original plan for a new stadium called ‘The Cathedral’, presented in 2021, has already been abandoned.

Therefore, Milan and Inter have three options for building their new stadium, at least for now.

1. Stay at San Siro

Sala has confirmed that Inter and Milan are open to building a new stadium at San Siro if they acquire the whole area, but they must know the costs and the timing of such an operation. The tax office won’t provide an assessment of the area’s worth until February 2025, but in the meantime, the two clubs must present a project for a new stadium close to the Stadio Meazza. In this case, Milan and Inter would continue sharing the new stadium.

2. One stadium each

Milan and Inter have been working on separate plans for months. Milan have acquired an area in San Donato, while Inter have identified Rozzano as the venue for their new stadium. This would be a historical switch, not only because the two clubs would move slightly outside the city of Milan but also because they’d no longer be sharing the same stadium. However, if they build one stadium each, costs would surely be higher for Rossoneri and Nerazzurri. Furthermore, Sala warned that if Milan and Inter eventually decide to buy the San Siro area, they’ll have to drop the other projects.

3. New joint stadium

Any party hasn’t officially confirmed this third option, neither the clubs nor Sala, but several sources have reported that Inter and Milan could build a new stadium together in San Donato, the area identified by Milan for their new area. It’s been reported that the Milan project in San Donato is more advanced than Inter’s in Rozzano, so the two clubs could join forces to share costs and build a new stadium more quickly than in San Siro.
