AC Milan and Inter Milan are considering building a new stadium near the existing San Siro, but the path forward remains complex and uncertain. The clubs have rejected plans to renovate the current stadium, citing cost concerns, and are awaiting a valuation of the surrounding area from the Italian Revenue Agency before making further decisions.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Milan’s mayor Giuseppe Sala recently addressed the situation, acknowledging the challenges of keeping the teams within city limits while also considering the needs of local residents. He emphasized that if the clubs decide to build new stadiums elsewhere, they must have them ready by 2030 when their current San Siro lease expires.
The uncertainty surrounding San Siro’s future has already impacted major events, with UEFA withdrawing Milan’s hosting rights for the 2027 Champions League final due to a lack of guarantees about the stadium’s availability.
Both Milan and Inter are exploring alternative stadium projects in San Donato and Rozzano, respectively. However, they remain open to proposals from the city government regarding a potential new stadium near San Siro. The clubs agree on the need to repurpose the existing San Siro structure if a new stadium is built nearby, with ideas including hotels, cinemas, restaurants, and shops.
The next crucial step is the Revenue Agency’s valuation of the area, which will inform the city’s proposal to the clubs. This assessment is expected to be a key factor in determining whether Milan and Inter pursue a new stadium near San Siro or move forward with their separate projects outside the city center.
