Milan Council Opens San Siro Sale Debate as FIGC Rules Meazza Not Fit for Euro 2032

A fragile majority targets a lower‑quorum vote next week as legal reviews challenge transparency of the buyers and the safeguards in the deal.

Overview

  • City councillors began debating the delibera to sell the San Siro site to Inter and Milan, with roughly 24 declared yes votes and Marco Fumagalli’s decision seen as decisive.
  • The majority is steering the decision to Monday’s second convocation, when the legal quorum drops to 15, while parts of the opposition weigh walkouts to test numbers.
  • FIGC president Gabriele Gravina reiterated that the Meazza does not meet UEFA criteria and pressed for a solution, noting Italy must name five compliant projects by July 31, 2026 with works ready to start by March 2027.
  • The municipal Comitato legalità flagged the lack of identified beneficial owners for the clubs, warned an earn‑out could enable a 25% control transfer without benefit to the city, and noted missing safeguards on contractors and financing disclosures.
  • Vice‑mayor Anna Scavuzzo said the clubs owe about €20 million for unperformed extraordinary works that will be settled before closing, as a public notice disclaiming urban‑regularity guarantees fuels criticism over alleged building abuses.
