Overview
- The sale passed 24–20 after an overnight session of roughly 12 hours, with absences by Forza Italia councillors helping secure approval.
- Plans call for a new 71,500-seat venue and the demolition of most of the current structure while preserving a heritage section of the second tier.
- The redevelopment is expected to be financed privately at about €1.2–€1.3 billion within a wider 281,000 m² urban regeneration plan.
- AC Milan and Inter have appointed Foster + Partners and Manica to design the new stadium.
- Site works are targeted to begin around 2027 with completion not before 2031, as the existing San Siro remains slated to host the Milan-Cortina 2026 opening ceremony.
