Milan and Inter are planning to pursue new stadiums individually in different parts of the city but both are already facing opposition from environmentalists, reports detail.

The two clubs met with city mayor Beppe Sala at City Hall yesterday, where they reiterated their intensions in their work to find a new home. The Rossoneri are focusing on the La Maura area of the city, whilst the Nerazzurri have already reportedly signed preliminary documents for the Assago area.

Their plans have already been communicated to the city and immediately opposition has emerged, putting the two clubs in a difficult spot.

Corriere Milano details how Enrico Fedrighini, a member of Beppe Sala’s team at City Hall, has announced a public assembly in the Lampugnano area of Milan to protest against the Rossoneri’s plans, creating the slogan ‘let’s defend the neighbourhood from cement’.

Things are no easier for Inter, with Carlo Monguzzi – the group leader of the Green Party – echoing these sentiments, saying he was ready for ‘a tough fight without fear’ against Inter’s plans in Assago, wanting to avoid ‘concrete pouring in a green area inside the Parco Sud’.

  1. What is wrong with these clowns in Italy. In England the councils and governments cooperate with the clubs for the better helping to bring tourism and money into the country. So they can’t knock the San Siro down and they can’t buy their own private land to build a new stadium. Perhaps they should move the stadium to another country.
