The plans for the Giallorossi to become the second Italian team – after Juventus – to own their stadium are expected to start by May, and the mayor confirmed that he is in constant communication with club President James Pallotta.
Rome mayor Ignazio Marino has said he expects Roma's new stadium to be 'the most advanced and technological in Europe'.
The plans for the Giallorossi to become the second Italian team – after Juventus – to own their stadium are expected to start by May, and the mayor confirmed that he is in constant communication with club President James Pallotta.
“Pallotta told me that he understands the pressure I'm putting on him,” said Marino to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I'm keen on the most advanced and most technological stadium in the European continent to rise in the Italian capital.
“But it's no less important to him that the stadium be built as soon as possible. As a businessman, he is subject to a continuous outflow of money that won't return until the stadium is open and fully functional.
“When I spoke with Pallotta he was in Texas working with [Mark] Pannes [the CEO of Stadio di Roma] and he told me they're taking some great steps.
“He said that on the week beginning March 23, Pannes himself will illustrate their progress on the executive project. I am absolutely not worried.”
