According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Investcorp is close to completing Milan‘s takeover and the new owners could decide to build a new stadium only for the Rossoneri.
The Bahrain-based is expected to finalise a €1.18 billion deal by the end of the next week as the two parties should sign preliminary contracts between Thursday and Friday. La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms that the agreement is just around the corner and adds a detail regarding a new club-owned stadium.
Mohammed Alardhi, the Executive Chairman of Investcorp, is convinced that the Rossoneri should have their own stadium and not share it with their city rivals. Alardhi believes that a stadium should only be owned by Milan, be entirely Rossonero and dedicated to the club’s fans every day of the week.
A project for a joint stadium had been approved at the end of 2021, but the feasibility of the operation is now been questioned because of a public debate that won’t take place before May.
Constructions works in the area of San Siro won’t begin before 2027, so the Milanese clubs are also considering moving outside the city, building a new stadium in Sesto San Giovanni. Both Paolo Scaroni and Alessandro Antonello confirmed yesterday that the two clubs are determined to create a project together, but according to La Gazzetta, Investcorp’s takeover could change the scenario.
