Inter director Alessandro Antonello confirms Milan are considering an alternative area to San Siro to build their new stadium and insists the Nerazzurri ‘also have a plan B.’
Milan and Inter directors met Milan’s Mayor Beppe Sala on Tuesday morning as multiple sources in Italy claim the Milanese sides no longer want to build their new stadium in the San Siro area and are considering moving elsewhere.
“It was a formal and serene meeting with Milan’s city council. The primary option remains San Siro with Milan, but the Rossoneri have officially confirmed today that they are interested in the area of La Mura,” Antonello told reporters as quoted by Calcio&Finanza.
“This will require a few weeks of analysis from Milan, then we’ll meet again to see if this idea will be developed or if they’ll stick to the original plan at San Siro.”
Gazzetta dello Sport reported last week that tension between the two clubs is growing as new Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has decided to drop the Nerazzurri and build a new stadium alone, away from San Siro.
“Inter have always worked in a coherent and determined way. For us, the main project is San Siro with Milan, but if they make a different choice, we also have a plan B,” claimed Antonello.
“We are also working on an alternative option. We are waiting for Milan’s assessment to understand what to do next.”
Is Inter’s pan B play at San Siro alone, with Milan moving to a different area?
“Absolutely No. Our main option is San Siro with Milan, but if they go to La Mura, we have a plan B which is not San Siro,” said Antonello.
“We have identified an area, but we can’t reveal it. It’s outside Milan.”
Inter and Milan have been sharing the Stadio Meazza in the area of San Siro since 1947, but Milan’s decision to explore different solutions for their new stadium means both Milanese clubs may no longer use the iconic arena anymore in the near future.
Near future being 2045
