Reports: ‘No peace’ – Milan and Inter watch on as objections to San Siro sale arrive | OneFootball

The path towards a new stadium has been littered with obstacles for AC Milan and Inter, with more laying on the road ahead.

Calciomercato.com report that there is ‘no peace’ when it comes to the San Siro project, after Milan and Inter put forward their offer to buy the current stadium and surrounding areas last month. On Tuesday, new doubts have emerged that would hinder the plans.

Let’s start with the statements of the Mayor Beppe Sala, who spoke to journalists at a forum: “Is this the right time for the new stadium at San Siro? We can do it, knowing that we will have hostility from some, we will have appeals.

“I cannot expect everyone to agree on the solution we have found. But the risk that Milan will go to San Donato is very high, since they have already invested a lot of money in it. Let it be clear, however, that if we don’t succeed by October, it will be difficult for it to be done later.”

There will be hostility, the mayor declared, and such has not been long in coming. There are still 15 days left before April 30, the date on which the public notice is due to expire, so until then the council are obliged to look for other parties possibly interested in San Siro.

Various objections have erupted. For example, during the Municipio 7 meeting, the climate was quite tense, with some residents of the San Siro area – who spoke before the councillors – underlined the critical aspects of the project.

In particular, for the citizens there would be no positive repercussions for the neighbourhood from the proximity to the new facility. Furthermore, there is concern about the issue of public greenery with the cancellation of over 50,000m² of greenery in the Parco dei Capitani.

There is the doubt about whether – with the new San Siro – 50% of total greenery will be reached in the areas surrounding the stadium. Finally, there is the asbestos issue with the two clubs that have not yet specified how it will be removed, with what timing and at what cost.

As also described by Calcio e Finanza, an appeal to the TAR by the committees to stop the operation to sell the San Siro area to Inter and Milan has been confirmed. The official announcement came directly from the leader of the Greens at Palazzo Marino Carlo Monguzzi, one of the main supporters of the impossibility of selling the stadium.

Monguzzi declared: “A preliminary conference of services with the tender still open is a legal structure from a land of plenty. The entrepreneur Trotta wrote to us saying that he was unable to participate in the tender due to the ridiculous duration and prohibitive perimeter.

“The public debate, although fake, said the opposite of what the council wrote in the resolutions. The referendum was prevented by the Municipality. We continue our mobilisation.”
