It is possible, with the values of the club, to take this path. Courage is needed, but Milan have always had it."

The memories of San Siro will be there forever, no one will be able to erase them, it is impossible. Every league in the world that has been successful has done so by building new stadiums. This is very important for the future. We have everything we need, football, people and fans. I see a bright future, you just need to have courage. Creating new stadiums is a fundamental step if we are to still be at the top of football in the world."
