Milan Council Approves San Siro Sale to AC Milan and Inter

A 24–20 vote sets a €197 million sale on a fast track to a November 10 closing, with legal appeals looming.

Overview

  • Forza Italia exited the chamber in the final moments, lowering the quorum and enabling passage, while one party councillor broke ranks to vote no.
  • Seven councillors from the governing majority opposed the measure; Lista Sala capogruppo Marco Fumagalli declined to vote and said he will resign.
  • At about 3 a.m., a procedural “tagliola” sub‑amendment ended debate by causing most of the 239 proposed changes to lapse before the vote.
  • The package values the Meazza and surrounding land at €197 million, with the city expected to cover roughly €22 million for works such as the Patroclo tunnel and site remediation.
  • The deed must be signed by November 10 to preempt a heritage constraint on the stadium’s second ring, as Milan and Inter advance designs by Foster + Partners and Manica toward a targeted 2030–2031 opening and opponents prepare court challenges.
