Overview

  • After nearly 12 hours of debate, councillors voted 24–20 to authorize the €197 million sale, reflecting the valuation set by Italy’s tax agency.
  • Inter and AC Milan plan a 71,500-seat arena designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA within a wider area redevelopment of roughly €1.2 billion.
  • The clubs intend to keep playing at San Siro during construction, with most of the current structure to be removed once the new venue opens and timelines discussed around 2031.
  • Political backing hinged on Forza Italia abstentions, while the League and Brothers of Italy opposed and critics questioned the price, project details and safeguards.
  • The sale must close before Nov. 10 and authorities still need to nail down transparency, anti‑mafia and remediation measures, while the stadium remains slated to host the Winter Olympics opening in February.
