Milan Council Holds Marathon Vote on San Siro Sale Before Offer Deadline

Two undecided majority members hold the balance following a package of safeguards on legality, remediation, health.

Overview

  • Council convened at 16:30 for an open‑ended session to decide on selling San Siro and surrounding areas to Inter and AC Milan.
  • The clubs’ €197 million offer, with about €22 million in municipal co‑funding, remains valid only until September 30.
  • The governing majority counts 23 certain yes votes, with Monica Romano and Marco Fumagalli undecided, while the center‑right refuses to back the plan and may vote no or leave the chamber.
  • The giunta proposes three amendments: a white list against mafia infiltration, clarification of remediation costs for Parco dei Capitani, and measures to protect residents’ health; Milan says it will sign a protocol with the Prefecture on the white list.
  • Proponents cite UEFA compliance and Europe 2032 hosting prospects, as Inter’s Beppe Marotta warns the clubs could move plans elsewhere and Milan keeps the San Donato alternative open.
