MN: San Donato the ‘only way’ for Milan despite Sala comments – Inter could join | OneFootball

There has been a whirlwind of stories regarding the plans to build a new stadium over the past couple of days, and a report has now stated that AC Milan’s mission remains clear.

This morning there was a meeting between the Mayor Giuseppe Sala and representatives of Milan and Inter, including the respective CEOs Giorgio Furlani and Alessandro Antonello. After the meeting Sala provided an update and confirmed the clubs have said no to the San Siro renovation project.

According to MilanNews, the main reason behind the ‘largely predictable’ decision to reject the project put forward by WeBuild is due to the excessive costs and the resulting logistical problems. The plan was said to only cost €400m, but Milan and Inter believe it could even be double that.

Contrary to what Sala said in his statement, bringing back the old project of the new stadium shared with Inter in the San Siro area is unlikely too. This is because would mean once again clashing with the problems that accompanied the project for many years, which forced Milan to San Donato.

A ‘new San Siro’ is an extremely difficult option to follow given the numerous obstacles present, while the San Donato idea is the ‘only way’ at the moment. Everything is moving forward and we are at the beginning of the Program Agreement, but Inter could still be part of that project and the ownerships are speaking.
