"It is probably a bit too late to be moving away from San Siro, but now AC Milan and Inter can take the step that has been waiting for them. A move away from San Siro is long overdue. Of course, it is one of the most iconic stadia of all time. However, there are certainly issues with the stadium, and there have been for some time. Ultimately, its age is now showing."
"Playing at San Siro is full of challenges, emotions, and history. My relationship with San Siro began when I was 14, and I played in a youth tournament there with Dynamo Kyiv. As soon as I walked in, I felt a special feeling. I love San Siro."
"The fans make the stadium so special. But I think this is a very important step for the future of AC Milan and Italian football. The design will be very important because, if you fully respect the tradition and legacy of San Siro and the legends who played there, you won't lose it. You can do something really positive, because nothing lasts forever."
A move away from San Siro is described as long overdue despite the stadium's iconic status. The stadium shows its age and has had ongoing issues that hinder modern hosting standards. UEFA removed the 2027 Champions League final from Milano, intensifying the case for a new venue. A deal was finalised with a first payment made, and design decisions remain pending while a 2032 deadline provides a timeline for completion. Andriy Shevchenko recalled deep personal ties to San Siro, praised the fans, and urged a design that respects tradition while allowing positive change.
