Inter CEO Alessandro Antonello claims a new San Siro is the only way to re-establish Milan as “a destination of European and world excellence”.
Plans for the stadium proposed to replace San Siro were officially unveiled on Thursday, with design houses Manica/Sportium and Populous going head-to-head to win the contract.
"The new stadium of San Siro will be located in the heart of a highly modern, green and liveable area which will be accessible all year round,” said Antonello.
“The project reflects the DNA, made of innovation and progress, which is historically embedded in our city, and the recent progress which has brought Milan back to being an avant-garde, attractive and international city.
“The Multifunctional District will be built to the highest standards of eco-sustainability in order to allow the San Siro district to once again re-establish itself as a destination of European and world excellence for sports and entertainment.”
Milan President Paolo Scaroni, meanwhile, preferred to highlight the synergy between the two city rivals,
"AC Milan and FC Internazionale have shared a stadium in San Siro for more than 70 years,” he added.
“The Project’s strength is the two club’s commitment together for the new Milano stadium.
“It means increased investments and a common goal to give the City a sports and entertainment district which is alive all year round thanks to events involving both teams and creating jobs for more than 3,500 people.”
