Forza Italia Abstention Puts San Siro Sale Within Reach as Milan Council Opens Marathon Vote

A planned abstention from Forza Italia changes the vote arithmetic in a session called under an offer deadline of September 30.

Overview

  • The council convened at 16:30 with quorum confirmed to decide on the delibera to sell San Siro and surrounding land to Inter and AC Milan.
  • Forza Italia said it will abstain, positioning the center-left majority to hit the 25-vote threshold while two councillors, Monica Romano and Marco Fumagalli, remain undecided.
  • The sale is anchored to a €197 million valuation, with the city contributing €22 million for the Patroclo tunnel works and site remediation.
  • The administration moved to add three amendments—a mafia-infiltration ‘white list,’ clarifications on Parco dei Capitani remediation costs, and resident health measures—while the center-right maintains opposition.
  • Clubs’ purchase offer is reported valid through September 30; approval is expected to trigger legal appeals, and rejection could see the teams pursue alternatives, with Euro 2032 hosting in Milan at risk.
