San Siro Sale Clears Council With €73 Million Due as Legal and Heritage Hurdles Loom

A €73 million payment due October 31 will test financing readiness under court scrutiny before the planned November closing.

Overview

  • AC Milan and Inter must wire a first installment of €73 million by October 31, with bank sign-offs needed to reach a notarized deed in November.
  • City records and court documents cited in new reporting indicate more than €40 million in suspended rents, unpaid taxes and uncompleted maintenance tied to the stadium.
  • A November 2024 TAR ruling that TV rights count toward rent remains under appeal to the Council of State, leaving related payments unresolved.
  • Citizen groups plan administrative appeals within 60 days and filings to the public prosecutor and Court of Auditors, as a non-accusatory prosecutorial review opened in March continues.
  • The Soprintendenza’s preservation rule blocks demolition of the second ring before November 10, 2025, while preliminary plans outline a ~71,500-seat venue by Manica and Foster + Partners with detailed designs expected in seven to eight months.
