Overview
- After an all-night session, the council passed the delibera 24–20, with Forza Italia largely leaving the chamber to lower the quorum and enable approval.
- A late “tagliola” sub-amendment around 3 a.m. voided most of the 239 proposed amendments, prompting protests from opposition parties and Green councillors.
- The sale sets a €197 million price and foresees roughly €22 million in municipal cost participation, clearing the way for a privately financed redevelopment.
- The plan envisions a new ~71,500-seat stadium designed by Foster + Partners and Manica and the demolition of most of the Meazza, as part of a ~€1.2 billion project.
- Key deadlines now apply: the purchase deed must be signed by 10 November due to heritage constraints, and the clubs included a clause to start works by 28 February 2027; seven majority councillors voted against, Marco Fumagalli did not vote and said he will resign, and citizen groups announced legal appeals.
