This decision is a major step forward for the two clubs' plans to build a new stadium, for which they entered into a partnership with British architects Foster + Partners and American architects Manica on 23/09/2025.

The San Siro is due to be partially demolished.

The provisional sale agreement will be signed on 10/11/2025, when Inter and AC Milan will pay the first instalment of the purchase price (€73m of the €197m planned, i.e. 37%). Work on the new stadium…
