Milan, Inter Milan and the municipal government reach preliminary agreement on the sale of San Siro and surrounding areas

According to the "Miyi", AC Milan and Inter Milan's new San Siro Stadium plans have ushered in positive progress.

This Wednesday, two good news came for those who support the new stadium. First, the Lombardy Administrative Court rejected the request of the "Meazha Commission" to suspend the sale of the stadium and its surrounding areas. The core of the dispute lies in the interpretation of the provisions for the protection of historic buildings: According to the city, the provision will take effect on November 10, 2025, and the Commission believes it has already taken effect. If the committee’s perspective is established, plans to demolish existing courses and build new courses will be impossible. However, the judges believed that "the assessment expressed by the supervisory body in the preliminary opinion does not seem unreasonable", so the key date remains November 10, 2025 determined by the supervisor.

However, the legal proceedings have not yet been concluded. Not only was the judicial earthquake yesterday that famous real estate developer Manfredi Catella and Milan city planning specialist Giancarlo Tancredi were asked to be arrested.

"Meazha Committee" Chairman Colbani said: "The case is still being tried in the Administrative Court, the Audit Court, the Republic Procuratorate and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau." In addition, the committee hopes to use a 2023 opinion from the regulatory body that emphasized the value of the West Stand as a "display archive" to determine that it has been protected.

The second good news is equally important: Inter, AC Milan and the municipal government have basically agreed on the selling price of the stadium and its surrounding areas. The two sides overcame differences and are finalizing legal details.

In fact, they are about to complete the transaction at a price of 197 million euros (determined by the tax office), where the city of Milan will share some of the costs, which may include waste disposal and cleaning costs. Although caution is still necessary, a road has been paved and time is tight.

Both clubs want to have a shared stadium in the city to share the cost. The city needs to avoid team relocations elsewhere (such as San Donato, where AC Milan already has projects), resulting in San Siro becoming an idle monument occasionally used for concerts.

It is expected that in the contract between the Municipal Government, Inter Milan and AC Milan, a clause will be included in the sale that will be deemed invalid if a court in the future ruled that the protection clause has entered into force. Be cautious and cautious, and the three parties jointly hope that lawyers can eventually handle other matters, which is not easy.
