"Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala spoke about the investigation into the sale of San Siro over alleged bid-rigging, denying any wrongdoing. Milan and Inter were able to celebrate the news on Wednesday that they have officially bought San Siro from the City Council. They have done so for a figure of €197m which includes some surrounding land, and it is the first big step forward in the new stadium project."
""We did everything right, we followed the rules. Once we received the teams' expressions of interest, we held it off for the necessary time. It seems like a very theoretical approach to me. An unusual timing for the news to be released? The very same day is cause for concern," he said (via MilanPress)."
"Promoter Claudio Trotta - one of the founders of the Sì Meazza Committee, a group that are very strongly opposed to the new stadium - was interviewed by prosecutors and claimed he tried to bid for San Siro but was told that he had not done so in time."
Milan and Inter officially bought San Siro from the City Council for €197m, including surrounding land, marking the first major step toward a new stadium project. Opposition emerged quickly and legal challenges appear likely in the coming months. The Milan Prosecutor's Office is investigating alleged bid‑rigging related to the sale. Promoter Claudio Trotta, co-founder of the Sì Meazza Committee opposing the new stadium, told prosecutors he tried to bid but was told his bid arrived late. Mayor Giuseppe Sala denied any wrongdoing, said rules were followed, and expressed concern about the timing of the investigation's public release.
