"Inter and AC Milan now own San Siro, and it is perhaps one of the most historic sporting occasions in the history of the City. A stadium like San Siro has a legacy outside of football's borders. In a city known for its splendour, it adds to the feeling of Milano, and has done so since it opened in 1926. So, recreating that image and creating a new legacy will be difficult."
"Today is a historic day for Milan, for the two teams, and for Italy, not just football. We've marked a milestone with the acquisition of San Siro, which deserves the utmost respect as an icon. We're committed to building a stadium that meets modern standards in terms of safety, hospitality, and attractiveness. And we also want to redevelop the neighbourhood, which is important for the city. The operation will take time, but it will represent something extraordinary for post-war Milan."
"I don't want to go out on a limb, it will be a stadium that will have to be ready and available for the European Championships, so before 2032. There will be many uphill climbs, as Scaroni said, unfortunately, Italy is made up of this bureaucracy, but the owners are very determined, and for this, I thank them. I'm sure we'll get there."
Inter and AC Milan have completed the purchase of San Siro and intend to replace it while preserving its historic significance. Norman Foster and David Manica are tasked with designing the new stadium amid other applicant proposals. Club executives emphasize meeting modern standards for safety, hospitality, and attractiveness and commit to redeveloping the surrounding neighbourhood to benefit the city. The owners aim for the stadium to be ready and available for the European Championships before 2032. The project will face bureaucratic challenges in Italy, but the ownership expresses determination and confidence about delivery.
