“We must look to the future, and the future says that the ownership of stadiums is what will keep football clubs on their feet,”Baresi said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“The Rossoneri’s project is great and innovative. I think that the club has done well to hold on until the end and beat off the competition.
“Of course, there will be a bit of sadness at the thought of leaving San Siro, but you must know how to adapt to compete at the top level.”
