Inter Milan Corporate CEO Alessandro Antonello says that there is “no certain answer” from the Nerazzurri on the future of the San Siro yet.
The executive spoke to reporters, via FCInterNews. He also briefly responded to financial accusations made by Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso.
Inter and their city rivals AC Milan have a big decision to make about their stadium.
For years, the two clubs had been trying to secure approval to demolish the San Siro and build a new stadium to replace it.
However, the clubs faced bureaucratic hurdles and delays throughout the process. An injunction against demolishing the iconic stadium proved to be the final nail in the coffin of those plans.
Therefore, Inter and Milan have decided to move their plans elsewhere.
The Nerazzurri have been working towards building in the commune of Rozzano. And the Rossoneri have been pursuing plans in the San Donato, where they’ve already bought land.
But Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has made a last-ditch effort to keep the two clubs at the San Siro.
The Mayor brought in architectural design firm WeBuild. The firm have delivered plans to the clubs proposing to renovate the iconic stadium to bring its revenues up to their needs.
For a few weeks now, Inter and Milan have considered their options.
The clubs have had the plans from WeBuild in front of them. They have two options – either turn them down to continue alternative stadium plans, or go ahead and stay in the San Siro.
As of yet, neither Inter nor Milan have given a definitive response to Sala and the city.
However, reports indicate that that response will come soon.
And Nerazzurri Corporate CEO Antonello confirmed that “We’ll meet with the Mayor, as scheduled, in the next few days.”
But as far as whether Inter will stay at the San Siro or not, he said that “There are no certain answer yet.”
Meanwhile, Antonello also addressed the accusations by Fiorentina owner Commisso that Inter have committed financial wrongdoing due to their high debts.
“Inter have always respected the rules and will continue to do so,” the CEO said.
