Unlike Gerry Cardinale, who took advantage of the event to send a message to Milan fans, Cano – who spoke from San Siro, as did AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani – limited himself to a brief comment related to the stadium: “We know that to compete with the top European clubs, a stadium of your own is essential.”
Inter and Milan’s next steps on the stadium. The two clubs are waiting for the Revenue Agency to establish the right price for the sale of the San Siro area, including the current facility. In the last meeting with Mayor Sala, the two clubs discarded the idea of renovating the Meazza, opening up to the possibility of building a new stadium, near or in place of the existing one, in co-ownership.
Much will depend on the technical time needed for the possible change of ownership: in 2025 the constraint on the second ring of the Meazza will come into force, which will make its demolition illegitimate. If Inter and Milan purchase the stadium before that date, they will have wider room for maneuver. In the background, the hypotheses that lead to San Donato and Rozzano remain, with the possible convergence of both clubs on the first destination.
