Inter Milan & AC Milan Unlikely To Build Separate Stadiums – Stay In San Siro Or Build New Stadium Together | OneFootball

Inter Milan and AC Milan are unlikely to build two separate stadiums, and will either stay at the San Siro or build a new stadium together.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInterNews.

The decisive hour is nearly at hand to determine the future of Inter and Milan at the San Siro.

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has made a last-ditch attempt to keep the clubs at the iconic stadium. Over the summer, he had architectural design firm WeBuild present renovation plans to the clubs.

And on Friday, the Corriere della Sera confirm, Inter and Milan will meet with Sala about the plans.

The clubs have had a couple months in which to analyze and reflect on the plans.

The costs of the renovations are one sticking point, reports the Corriere della Sera.

WeBuild projected that the construction would cost around €400 million, whilst the clubs expect it would come to €700 million, split evenly between them.

Then there is the question of the potential for revenue generation after the renovations.

Inter and Milan want the San Siro to be able to generate more in gate receipt revenues. And they also want more commercial development around the stadium to rake in more cash.

One way or the other, the two clubs will soon make their final decision. On Friday they’ll inform Sala on whether or not they plan to stay at the San Siro and go ahead with renovations.

No Separate Stadiums – Inter & AC Milan To Stay At San Siro Or Build New Stadium Together

But a big turning point could be in the clubs’ plans should they decide to leave the San Siro.

The Corriere della Sera reports that Inter and Milan are now very unlikely to build two separate stadiums if they leave their current home.

For over a year, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri have each pursued their own plans.

Inter have been focusing on the commune of Rozzano. And Milan, meanwhile, are even further along in San Donato where they have already bought land.

However, the Corriere della Sera reports, the two clubs would likely look to consolidate if they say no to Sala regarding the San Siro.

Building together would mean sharing the costs, obviously a big plus.

Moreover, the ownership of Inter and Milan are on the same page.

Since the takeover of Inter by US fund Oaktree Capital, there is an atmosphere of cooperation between they and Rossoneri owners RedBird Capital, also American.

As such, the Corriere della Sera reports, the two clubs are ready to openly share their respective plans in Rozzano and San Donato.

Then, the clubs can decide which to move forward with. But the idea would very much be to build one stadium to share, as they have long done with the San Siro.
