Milan have agreed terms with the local authorities and will pay a €5m penalty for abandoning their stadium project, much less than the €40m demanded.
The Rossoneri’s holding company, Fininvest, had won the rights to use the site in the Pontello area of the city, but then scrapped plans for a purpose-built arena.
The Fondazione Fiera Milano had demanded €40m in damages for the abandoned project.

According to news agency Ansa, this means Milan will pay €5m to cover the costs.
