Overview

• Thursday’s tense council session ended without an agreement, though a motion to suspend proceedings was voted down 26–20.
• Reported vote counts stand at 24 in favor and 24 against with one councillor undecided; a simple majority is required and two tied votes would sink the proposal.
• Mayor Giuseppe Sala says a sale agreement exists pending council approval, and Milan and Inter have tapped Foster + Partners and MANICA to design a new stadium.
• The plan would build a new ground on adjacent land before demolishing most of the current stadium, while opponents push for refurbishment and stronger safeguards against future resale.
• If the sale is rejected, reports indicate Milan have retained San Donato as a fallback and Inter could follow, whereas approval could enable a commissioner to accelerate construction.
