Milan Council Approves San Siro Sale as €40 Million Dispute Lingers

Scrutiny over unpaid rents, taxes, maintenance remains unresolved as the city moves to offload the stadium.

Overview

  • The Milan City Council voted overnight on Oct. 1–2 to authorize transferring San Siro to AC Milan and Inter for an official price of €197 million.
  • Access-to-records requests and audit findings indicate roughly €26.4 million in unexecuted maintenance from 2019–2025 and total exposures exceeding €40 million when suspended rents and unpaid taxes are included.
  • A November 2024 Tar Lombardia ruling counted TV rights in rent calculations for the pandemic seasons, the clubs appealed to the Consiglio di Stato, and about €20 million has yet to reach municipal coffers.
  • Political fallout includes a high-profile defection and opposition warnings, yet the city government has not entered a formal crisis and key officials remain in post.
  • On the field, before Juventus–Milan, Massimiliano Allegri said Fikayo Tomori is available with Bartesaghi or Athekame as left-back options, Igor Tudor defended Juventus’ form, and bookmakers priced a near-even contest with Under 2.5 goals favored.
