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

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala confirms that “negotiations are progressing” with Inter Milan and AC Milan for the sale of the San Siro land.

Sala spoke to reporters, via FCInterNews, giving an update on the state of negotiations.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are aiming to buy the land around the San Siro from the city of Milan.

The club’s ambition is to build a new stadium adjacent to the existing structure.

Inter and Milan have long wanted to build a new stadium. They feel that it is necessary to keep their infrastructure and revenues competitive with the biggest clubs in Europe.

Having initially planned to try and demolish the San Siro and build in its place, Inter faced a number of bureaucratic hurdles. Therefore, the clubs considered plans to build individually outside the city.

But now, the Nerazzurri and the Rossoneri have decided to try and build a stadium adjacent to the existing one.

Milan Mayor Beppe Sala commented that “clearly no one wants to give anything away for free.”

“And clearly, the teams have to look after their own interests,” he added.

“Today, its very hard to get everything done. There’s a desire on my part, and on the part of the other politicians, to move forward.”

“But there are a lot of obstacles,” Sala warned.

“I’m just concerned about whether or not we can reach an agreement that’s in our mutual interest,” the Mayor said.

He clarified that “the interest of the city administration isn’t so much cash flow as the public interest.”

“While the interest of the clubs is to balance their books.”

“I hope we can reach an agreement,” said Sala. “But we’re still negotiating.”

“Some councillors have raised objections to the sale price, which has been certified by the Revenue Agency and the University.”

“They’ve said that if we were to sell and make a quick profit, the municipality should be entitled to a return,” Sala said.
