"When AC Milan were looking for a new stadium plan, San Donato emerged as a favourable option. However, it is not the plan that will be used. A lot of money has been pumped into the San Donato project, and it seemed that it would be the new home of Milan, moving away from San Siro. Despite the investment, though, and the extended planning, it is no longer the case."
"After initial evaluations put the project into the billions, it just became unfeasible, and since then, the Rossoneri have moved forward with the decision to buy San Siro and move to a new stadium. The project is considerably cheaper, and there is more political support for this idea than there was for the San Donato move, which also plays a part."
San Donato emerged as a favored option for AC Milan's new stadium and attracted significant investment and planning. Initial evaluations later placed the project cost in the billions, rendering the scheme unfeasible. Milan moved forward with a decision to buy and redevelop San Siro and pursue a new, considerably cheaper stadium option that carries stronger political support. Plans for San Donato have been officially halted. Stakeholders have shown willingness to commit to a new project at the site. Proposals now focus on converting San Donato into a youth academy hub, a full 'citadel' with a range of amenities.
