"San Siro, final negotiations. Clauses and price: the sticking points for Milan and Inter,"
That is the headline ran by La Repubblica Milano on its front page today. There is focus on the future of the San Siro stadium, with Milan and Inter waiting after a "positive" meeting that generated "optimism," but was not conclusive.
Yesterday, a summit was held at Palazzo Marino between representatives of the ownership groups of Inter and Milan and the mayor. The City aims to wrap things up by the end of the week. Discussions are centered around the cost of the operation and necessary guarantees.
Yesterday's meeting between Mayor Beppe Sala and the clubs over San Siro was a marathon session. There is a shared desire to finalize the matter by July 31, but several issues remain unresolved — particularly corporate clauses and figures. The anti-speculation guarantees requested by Palazzo Marino have yet to be put on the table, and fine-tuning continues on the sale price.
From remediation costs to demolition expenses, there are multiple budget items still under negotiation. Then there’s the environmental aspect, which requires more attention. A final point concerns the distance between the new stadium and the buildings on Via Tesio. All these matters aim to safeguard the public interest in the project. Palazzo Marino’s goal is for both the Nerazzurri and Rossoneri to be directly involved in the company that will be established to purchase the entire package. AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni commented: “Work in progress — I’m always optimistic.”
