The reply is dry and direct Milan to Giuseppe Sala on the topic of the stadium. The mayor of Milan, regarding the club’s choice to proceed with the construction of a new facility, had in fact shown clear doubts: “We know the area and when we think of building something impressive we think of the south of Milan, because there is no space in the north, it is completely anthropized. However, this means inserting ourselves into green areas and two stadiums so close together that it is obvious that they could coexist. I don’t know how it is conceivable to have two facilities like this very close to each other. I support San Siro, for a thousand reasons.”. Words to which the Rossoneri club responded in kind: “The stadium in San Donato is not incompatible with the possible construction of a new Inter stadium in Rozzano. It would be in a space that is currently abandoned and degraded”.
“With regard to what has been reported by the media on the new stadium project in San Donato, AC Milan underlines that the proposal presented insists on a private and buildable area, on which there was already an approved Integrated Intervention Plan (…). As reiterated several times, the area involved in the construction of the Stadium does not fall within the Southern Milan Agricultural Park, it is not a green space, but is currently abandoned and degraded. Following the planning of the Municipality of San Donato, which has identified it as an Area of Intervention for urban regeneration, Sport Life City (a company controlled by AC Milan, owner of the land) is working with the State Police and the Municipality of San Donato to reclaim the entire area and make it safe, freeing it from crime and bad habits (…) The project finds no incompatibility with the possible construction of a new Inter stadium in Rozzano. The distance between the two structures would in fact be 13km as the crow flies (18km by car), while for For example, in the city of London there are eight stadiums built even at much shorter distances”.
