Milan Council Poised To Approve San Siro Sale After Forza Italia Abstains

Approval would trigger a 10 November closing, starting a privately funded redevelopment by Inter and Milan.

Overview

  • An open‑ended session is underway at Palazzo Marino ahead of the 30 September deadline for the clubs’ offer, with street protests outside and quorum reached.
  • The sale package is valued at €197 million, including a €22 million municipal contribution tied to the Patroclo tunnel works and site remediation.
  • Forza Italia announced it will leave the chamber rather than vote against, PD councillor Monica Romano declared support, and Lista Sala’s Marco Fumagalli remained undecided.
  • The city executive backed targeted safeguards, including a vetted‑contractor white list plus remediation and health clauses, and councillors filed 239 amendments.
  • If approved, the deal moves to a notarial closing by 10 November, paving the way for a Foster + Partners–Manica 71,500‑seat stadium and area regeneration that may face legal challenges.
