Scaroni reiterates Milan have San Donato stadium as their ‘number one priority’ | OneFootball

There have been many news reports about AC Milan and Inter’s stadium future in the last 48 hours, following a meeting with the city council on Friday. However, Paolo Scaroni has now played down some of the rumours.

After the meeting between all parties involved, the mayor Beppe Sala suggested that Milan and Inter could build a new stadium together in the San Siro area, next to Giuseppe Meazza. However, it seems this hypothesis is not a concrete one for the time being.

Speaking to MilanTV ahead of Milan’s game against Venezia last night, Milan’s president Paolo Scaroni spoke about the situation (via MilanNews). He insisted that the Rossoneri still have San Donato as their priority, having made great progress for that project.

“There was a meeting with the mayor of Milan yesterday [Friday], and with him, we discussed the hypotheses for the city of Milan. We explained to him that a renovation isn’t possible, the result would never be of the level that the Milanese clubs deserve.

“The hypothesis of reviving the old San Siro project emerged, an old dream of mine, but it’s a path that has difficulties: it’s nothing decided and obvious. We are following it but our number one priority is San Donato. We want to be very clear and say that San Donato is moving forward and it’s the hypothesis that we prefer at this time” he stated.

Scaroni has been working on the stadium project ever since he joined the club and if anyone knows Milan’s true intentions, it’s him. That being said, getting everything past the Program Agreement is a difficult task and will require patience.
