"It is clear that" from the meeting with Inter and Milan that was held this morning "one very clear thing emerges: nobody wants the old San Siro anymore. So it will be an extra problem for the Municipality".
This is the consideration of the mayor of Milan,
Giuseppe Sala, after the meeting with the clubs on the new stadium project
.
"One step at a time, let's wait and see what Milan will say - he added on the sidelines of the inauguration of the IULM University academic year -. I am embittered as mayor, as a citizen, as a fan, but it was something we fully understood I repeat, it will be an extra problem for us".

"What I've always said - added Sala - was that the new stadium, if built in the immediate vicinity of San Siro, could not allow the existence of the Meazza itself. a destination for San Siro".
"The only possibility is to open up to operators who want to organize concert events, probably there may also be interested parties - he concluded -. My initial hope has always been to restore San Siro, but the teams have made us fully understand which is not a feasible situation".
"The process for the authorization of the basic hypothesis, i.e. the new stadium near the current Meazza, is going ahead but I asked the teams, in two or three weeks, to respond to our request to review the economic-financial plan or tell us that instead abandon this hypothesis," explained Sala, commenting on the meeting with Inter and Milan.
"So for 2-3 weeks we will be at a standstill waiting for Milan to resolve this doubt".
To journalists who asked him if he was surprised by Milan's interest in the La Maura Sala area, he replied: "I'm not surprised because it had already appeared in the media. Precisely because I was in the uncomfortable position of reading the news from the press - he specified -, without having any official news from the teams, I called them up".
