It's a date that will forever be remembered in Italian soccer history. Starting today, the San Siro stadium—more technically known as the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza—belongs to the two teams who have shared it for over a century: Inter Milan and AC Milan. The City of Milan, who owned the stadium until yesterday, has signed the notarial deed transferring ownership of the stadium and its surrounding areas to the two clubs. The deal was signed late this morning at notary Filippo Zabban's office in the city center. The signing, originally anticipated several weeks prior, was postponed owing to "technical issues between the clubs rather than with the City", as clarified by Mayor Giuseppe Sala. The challenges were mostly related to internal finance procedures between the two clubs. After leaving the notary's office, AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni smiled and said, "Good things always take time". The transfer of ownership was authorized subsequent to approval by the City Council and entails a total payment of €197 million, to be settled by Inter and AC Milan in installments. The initial tranche, amounting to approximately €100 million, will also encompass taxes and outstanding payments. However, there was a critical deadline: complete the operation by November 10th. After that date, an architectural limitation would have been implemented on the stadium's second tier, forbidding its removal or major alterations. In other words, the restriction would have prevented the construction of a new stadium. According to the plans published in March, a new 71,500-seat stadium will be built on the west side of the current San Siro. The historic Meazza stadium will not be entirely demolished; instead, a segment will be conserved and transformed into a museum and commercial space, celebrating the heritage of Milanese soccer. Work is set to begin in 2027, with the intention of opening the new stadium in 2031.
