Milan have played with the idea of staying at San Siro or moving to San Donato, but now seem to have decided on remaining put “If the sale of San Siro does not go ahead, San Donato is still there ready. In recent days, Milan have announced that they will find a solution for San Donato Probably the project is to bring the youth centre there “Milan have also put up a significant amount of money, so this must be taken into account.

Milan and Inter will never be granted permission to build a stadium next to the current San Siro, which, by the way, can neither be renovated nor demolished (so fans can still enjoy it and they can also do a stadium tour of several iconic venues) More time will be wasted analyzing projects and data but the reality is that Milan is proceeding with San Donato where they've already spent 50 million euros and have the program agreement in place Will the new stadium be shared with the Nerazzurri The two clubs have been discussing this for over a month and it could be a solution to halve the costs Corner flag bearing logo of the Rossoneri club is seen prior to the Serie A football match between AC Milan and Juventus FC (Photo by Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images) AC Milan are still considering the options for the stadium project: San Siro or San Donato One leads to the construction of the stadium next to the Meazza, alongside Inter while the other project proposes the building of the stadium on its own in the San Francesco area the club president Paolo Scaroni met with the mayor Francesco Squeri who had recently requested to meet with the club's executives San Donato Milanese remains the main route even now that the possibility of a shared stadium at San Siro has reopened Scaroni reiterated this to the mayor of the Milanese suburb yesterday because the club has already invested 55 million euros in the San Donato stadium project for which the Program Agreement has already been initiated the Rossoneri club managers haven't forgotten what happened with the first attempt (2019) to build the new stadium next to San Siro Milan requires clarity and very specific guarantees To the left-wing minority of the Municipality of San Donato the reassurances about Milan's new stadium from Mayor Squeri and Paolo Scaroni following the latest meeting were not enough there will be two items on the agenda regarding the new Rossoneri facility: one for a consultative survey directed at citizens and another for the suspension of the Program Agreement Source: comune.sandonatomilanese.mi.it (via MilanPress) Create an account for a 7-day trial to access this article and all of AL-Monitor For subscription inquiries, please contact subscription.support@al-monitor.com For all other inquiries, please use contactus@al-monitor.com 18+ | Commercial Content | T&Cs apply | Gambleaware.org San Siro stadium is a pilgrimage for football fans. Perhaps world football's most iconic stadium – only Wembley Stadium and the Maracana are on par – this historic ground hosts Italian giants and city rivals AC Milan and Inter Milan Football Ground Guide is here to give you all the latest on plans to demolish San Siro AC Milan and Inter's plans to move elsewhere and everything you need to know about this glorious amphitheatre's future With AC Milan and Inter Milan now set to stay at the San Siro the new plan is to effectively completely rebuild the stadium in its current location a controversial demolition is back on the cards for the famous old stadium While a complete demolition will be impossible due to the Regional Commission for the Cultural Heritage of Lombardy declaring that it is a site of ‘cultural interest' there is a workaround where the vast majority of the stadium is demolished The part of the stadium that must stay intact is the second ring of the stadium so the two clubs would need to figure out a way to move that part of the stadium across to the new one before demolishing the rest of the stadium with the estimate at around €80 million and that's before work even begins on building the structure for the new stadium An official announcement is expected in due course with Inter and AC currently locked in discussion with the city's planners Two huge Milan derbies are set to take place in the coming weeks as AC and Inter Milan do battle in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia It's clashes like these at the famous old stadium which make you wonder why both clubs are reportedly looking for a way out of the San Siro but perhaps the electric atmosphere that will no doubt be constant across both legs could sway certain figureheads at both clubs rumours continue to swirl that both clubs are preparing a joint bid to buy the stadium from Mian City Council then they would have complete autonomy on a renovation project which could persuade both clubs to stay Milan Mayor Beppe Sala has declared that 2025 will be a pivotal year for both football clubs as they aim to begin construction on a new stadium he mentioned that initial steps could be taken as early as February or March The mayor emphasized that if issues are not resolved by the summer of 2025 particularly concerning the demolition of San Siro much of the necessary work will take place after he leaves office Despite the mayor's efforts to encourage both clubs to stay at San Siro they have firmly insisted on moving to a new venue Italian news sources reported a new development: both clubs are preparing a 200-page proposal to acquire San Siro and the surrounding areas Their plan includes the construction of a new stadium with a seating capacity of 70,000 along with an environmental assessment report Oaktree and RedBird Capital are eager to finalize the purchase proposal as soon as possible AC Milan has already invested €40 million in the proposed new site in San Donato and is considering relocating the PUMA House of Football to this new location While the future of San Siro remains an emotive issue for the residents of the district Milan Mayor Sala was recently booed during a discussion about the stadium Calcio e Finanza reports that the mayor was booed while delivering a speech in which he said emotional considerations are overriding rational discussions Sala emphasized the need to retain San Siro saying that it has become a politically significant establishment in Milan Earlier in September Mayor Sala reported that both Inter and AC Milan had rejected a renovation proposal from a construction company it became clear that both clubs were determined to leave the iconic stadium There were strong indications that the two clubs that have shared San Siro for many years are likely to go their separate ways the current owners of both clubs have recently opened more channels of communication they could either settle for a stadium project in San Donato or build one adjacent to San Siro Should they go ahead with the collaborative effort to share a new stadium the financial burden of constructing a new venue would greatly be reduced for each team Both clubs had acquired land elsewhere with AC Milan looking to build a new ground in San Donato Milanese Inter Milan were exploring thier options in the south of the city especially in the towns of Assago and Ruzzano were not on good terms with AC Milan owners complicated the process of moving out of San Siro the frosty relationship between the two clubs seems to have ended paving the way for current and future collaborations both Inter Milan and AC Milan reaffirmed their desire to move from the stadium in October 2024 when they met with with Italy's culture and sport minister to discuss potentially building a new stadium in the San Siro district without tearing the original down With the destruction of the stadium no longer a viable option both Milan clubs have floated the idea of building a new shared stadium nearby while still maintaining the original San Siro for other sporting events everyone in the meeting was left satisfied by the plans and a period of form-filling and plan-submitting will now take place to ensure that it gets green-lit by the powers that be in Milan has been keen for the two clubs to renovate the existing stadium both clubs have now firmly rejected these proposals This new suggestion could be the only way to ensure both clubs remain in the San Siro district which could perhaps be a compromise for all parties It was announced on 24 September 2024 that the San Siro was stripped of hosting the 2027 Champions League final The last time the Champions League final was played at the famous stadium was back in 2016 when Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid on penalties Mark Ogden, who is the senior writer at ESPN, provided the following update: “But despite confirming Milan as the 2027 venue UEFA did so on the proviso that the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) submitted information in the plans for the multi-million-pound refurbishment of the San Siro “Those plans remain uncertain with both Milan and Inter considering moving out of the San Siro officially named the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza due to an ongoing battle to secure funding for the renovation of the existing stadium BREAKING: San Siro will no longer host the 2027 Champions League Final ❌?

for 2026 A new bidding process will now open for 2027 with a final decision expected in May or June next year UEFA said:  “As the Municipality of Milano could not guarantee that the San Siro stadium and its surroundings would not be affected by refurbishment works in the period of the 2027 UEFA Champions League final it was decided not to assign the final to Milan and to re-open the bidding process to appoint a suitable venue with a decision expected in May/June 2025.” The latest news about the future of San Siro in Italy suggests that the Milan Mayor still hasn't given up on convincing both Inter and AC Milan to stay at the stadium rather than move elsewhere has pencilled in meetings with executives of both clubs for September where a resolution will be found one way or the other Sala will discuss the recent study by WeBuild (more information below) with both clubs and try to convince them to see a renovation plan through both clubs remain committed to building new stadiums away from San Siro and the city of Milan were presented with the findings of a study conducted by WeBuild on potential plans for the renovation of the San Siro One of the conclusions from the study is that reducing the capacity to around 30,000 seats is the most feasible option Inter will assess the documents concerning how a revamped San Siro could look and will compare them to their plans for a new ground in Rozanno Calciomercato reported at the time that Inter want to know about the findings of the study as soon as possible so that they can make a decision between Plan A and B before the

we are not working on the final project but on the preliminary one we can start work in the summer of 2025. The first phase could be completed by the end of 2025 The fundamental theme of any renovations to the San Siro would be a complete modernisation of the ground a concept present throughout the WeBuild presentation Developments to the entire first tier of the stadium were at the forefront of the plans presented as the Italian construction company demonstrated how they would vastly improve the matchday experience for supporters While the second and third tiers would also see renovations the work would be far more straightforward the rest of the important renovations would be made outside the ground altogether improving accessibility to the stadium through developments to structures such as the car park was also an integral part of the WeBuild presentation Transforming the San Siro into a multi-use entertainment facility a direction many modern stadiums appear to be moving in by implementing attractions such as museums and restaurants while the above sounds very appealing and would likely see WeBuild successfully turn the San Siro into a ground in line with the modern era some aspects will undoubtedly anger supporters there were suggestions that renovations would drastically increase the number of hospitality seats offered further excluding average match-going fans from the matchday experience this wonderful piece of footballing architecture looked likely to be torn down An intervention from the Regional Commission for the Cultural Heritage of Lombardy has saved San Siro They rightly note that its distinctive appearance gives it cultural significance proposed plans for a San Siro redevelopment in a bid to convince Inter Milan and AC Milan to stay put The redevelopment plans would allow both clubs to continue playing at San Siro while the work took place and would bring the stadium into the 21st century after decades of neglect Both clubs rejected the proposal then and continued to move forward with their plans to move outside of Milan with new stadiums The two clubs want a new stadium and are a long way down the line towards this aim The famous architecture studio Populous – also currently working with Manchester United on refurbishment plans for Old Trafford – have designed a new ground for the Milan clubs called ‘the Cathedral' Populous' designs were apparently inspired by two of Milan's most famous buildings: the incredible Duomo di Milan cathedral and the adjacent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele shopping centre The plans involve a 60,000-seat arena in a rectangular shape claimed The Cathedral would become one of the world football's “most iconic stadiums” by being a “world-class modern, and truly bespoke home for the legendary clubs of AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano.” Original planning involved building The Cathedral alongside San Siro The whole area would become a pedestrian-only district emphasising green space and after nearly a century of ground-sharing the close relationship between the city rivals might change 🚨 San Siro is NO longer set to host the 2027 Champions League final as

Gianluca Comazzi, regional assessor for the Territory, spoke to Il Giorno: "AC Milan and the Municipality of San Donato have asked the Lombardy Region to start the program agreement on the new stadium in San Donato Milanese, by June the Regional Council will approve the program agreement. I hope that Milan and Inter, if they were to leave San Siro find an agreement to build a single new stadium It's not up to the Region or me to say if it's a concrete prospect I only say that if the two clubs join forces "The possibility of renovating the current stadium exists but it seems to me that there is a lack of will from AC Milan and Inter to do so the Sala Administration has been conditioned by divisions within the center-left on the clubs' project for a new facility at San Siro What the mayor is pursuing now regarding the stadium's restyling seems more like a media attempt than a concrete one." there's a risk that San Siro will become an unused open-air museum I've heard about the prospect of using the structure only for concerts You can have about twenty concerts at San Siro per year because it's a stadium without a roof and filling it up is not easy for artists." Full steam ahead for AC Milan's new stadium in San Donato: as reported this morning by Il Giornale after acquiring the last piece of land to build the facility the rossoneri club is ready to send out tomorrow morning the letter to initiate the program agreement with the Lombardy region councilor for Public Works of San Donato Milanese has spoken about AC Milan's stadium project in an interview with Affari Italiani: "Will ongoing investigations into AC Milan's ownership block the stadium project in San Donato We are continuing with the process we have set out to follow because we believe this project deserves to be evaluated are carrying out the evaluation of the project Then it will be up to AC Milan to analyze all the proposals on the table."

Weather MapsRadarPlane crashes into building near Milan; all 8 aboard dieby Associated Press ROME (AP) — A small, single-engine plane carrying six passengers and two crew crashed Sunday into a vacant two-story office building in a Milan suburb, and authorities said all eight people aboard died. Investigators opened a probe into what caused the private plane to crash shortly after takeoff from Milan's Linate Airport en route to Olbia Airport on the Italian island of Sardinia. A thick column of dark smoke rose from the crash site and was visible for kilometers. Several parked cars nearby went up in flames. Firefighters tweeted that no one else but those on board were hurt in the early afternoon crash near a subway station in San Donato Milanese, a small town near Milan. Milan Prosecutor Tiziana Siciliano told reporters at the scene that the plane was proceeding on its flight until "a certain point, then an anomaly appeared on the radar screen and it plunged," striking the building's roof. Control tower officials reported the anomaly, she said, but further details on that weren't immediately given. The prosecutor said the plane didn't send out any alarm. It was too early to cite any possible cause for the crash, Siciliano said, adding that the flight recorder has been retrieved. By early evening, only two of the eight dead had been identified, since they carried documents on them, Siciliano said. Those aboard were "all foreigners," she said, including the pilot, who was Romanian. The aircraft was registered in Romania, the prosecutor said. Later, the Romanian Foreign Ministry said two Romanians with dual citizenship were among the dead. Italian news reports said the pilot, 30, also had German citizenship. A second victim was a Romanian woman in her 60s who also held French citizenship, the reports said. The reports said the aircraft had flown from Bucharest, Romania, to Milan on Sept. 30 with no apparent problem. The Italian news agency ANSA quoted the national air safety agency ANSV as saying "the plane hit the building and started burning." It said the aircraft was a PC-12, a single-engine, executive-type plane. Fire officials said earlier that the aircraft had crashed into the building's facade. But following further inspection, the prosecutor said it was apparent that the plane had struck the roof. Firefighters extinguished the flames at the badly charred and gutted building, which reportedly was under renovation.

Donato Milanese and the Rossoneri have taken the first formal step by signing an agreement concerning the transfer of urban permits with SportLifeCity which ffectively officially iniciates the procedure that could lead to the construction of the new stadium The words of Mayor Francesco Squeri confirm that this area is currently the most appealing for Milan: is that Milan considers the San Francesco area very interesting The initiation of the procedure does not imply certainty that the stadium will be built in San Donato at the moment and the team still needs to present the project to us We are moving forward with bureaucracy to determine its feasibility Only with the project in hand can we involve all the relevant authorities: from the Metropolitan City both Inter and AC Milan are finally back at the level they used to be appear to be closing in on their 20th Serie A title and becoming the second Italian club after Juventus to earn their second star they've won the Serie A recently and made a run to the Champions League semifinals last season both sides are still struggling to find a solution for their home stadium one of the most incredible and astonishing facilities around the world might not be their home in the near future It's quite difficult to follow the news and what is happening on a daily basis in this story considering that there is a strong political aspect as of late San Siro is one of those places to be if you're into soccer The iconic stadium hosted games from the 1934 and 1990 World Cups games at UEFA Euro 1980 and numerous iconic musical acts like The Rolling Stones There are multiple reasons why both clubs want to leave San Siro most of the stadiums are owned by the city and the clubs pay rent This is happening for all the Italian clubs the clubs that are renting the stadium can't make as much in revenue as the others that own their respective stadium and can't also invest as much as they want to renovate the infrastructure San Siro was built back in 1926 and saw a few major renovations in 1937 but even if it's still one of the most iconic stadiums around the world it can't compete with other ones in terms of revenue Both Inter and AC Milan's first idea was to keep and renovate San Siro but as the Nerazzurri CEO Alessandro Antonello pointed out the second in 1956 and a third added in 1990 with the roof but have very little connection between them This means there are very limited spaces for businesses and restoration," he said recently met with Inter CEO Alessandro Antonello and with AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni just this month to discuss another potential restructuring but there are still some issues that need to be solved while clubs are still worried about the potential revenue losses for the seasons that will be affected by the works they are already concretely working on their new projects Since American owner Gerry Cardinale took over the club in the summer of 2022  AC Milan actively worked for a new stadium The initial idea was to build a stadium with Inter in the same area of San Siro but things didn't move as quickly as hoped by the two clubs also due to the fact that Milan will host the 2026 Olympic games and San Siro will host the opening ceremony AC Milan and Inter started to work on their own projects and the Rossoneri already completed the acquisition of a package of land for the project in San Donato Milanese Milan have announced plans to move from the San Siro home to a new 70,000-seater stadium in Donato.Preliminary proposals have been filed to the city council in what is

the Italian giants with the project clearing its first major bureaucratic hurdle The municipal council approved an initial proposal presented by the club in September when it officially announced for the first time that it was pursuing a new stadium project an auditorium and a parking lot for 3,500 vehicles The club estimated that the cost of the new stadium would be around €451 million with the overall project more than double this at €949 million Inter are also working for a new facility in the south of Milan The Nerazzurri have pinpointed the area of Rozzano where the Olimpia Milano basketball team play and where most of the indoor concerts take place in the city The infrastructure would host 70,000 spectators and have an oval shape making it similar to the Tottenham Stadium or

easily connected to the center of Milan integrating with existing infrastructure." it looks like that the two different stadiums outside Milan are the most likely scenario right now The chance to not
