The Milan City Council has approved the sale agreement for Stadio Meazza. Shortly afterwards, design details of the new San Siro were revealed.
In a statement released on the official website of Inter Milan, the Serie A clubs confirmed their collaboration with Foster + Partners and MANICA for the design of their future stadium.
Inter Milan have presented the new development as a significant strategic investment in Milan's future, highlighting the city's rich culture and historical heritage. This move ensures that both clubs will remain in Milan.
The president of Inter Milan recently cautioned that if legal obstacles continue to hinder their plans for a new San Siro stadium, they may consider building a new stadium elsewhere.
Exciting design details revealed
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the new San Siro will feature an oval shape, marking a complete departure from the design of the old venue. As a result, the iconic red beams from the previous stadium will not be included in the new design.
The roofing for the new San Siro will be fixed. Originally, AC Milan's plans for a separate stadium in San Donato included a similar roofing design. This means that a retractable roof is off the table, despite being a popular trend in multimillion-dollar developments across Europe, such as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Additionally, the new stadium will have two tiers instead of the current three available at Stadio Meazza. The plans also include offices and hotels, along with up to 15,000 square meters of parking space. Offices will occupy 43,000 square meters, while parking will cover 20,000 square meters.

Museum and green space
The demolition of Stadio Meazza will involve removing most of the old structure; however, portions of the Curva Sud and the South-East corner will be preserved. In the plans for the new San Siro, these retained sections will be converted into a museum, which will also include entertainment and commercial areas.
Moreover, design details indicate that at least 50% of the site will be dedicated to green spaces, covering approximately 80,000 square meters. Once the construction of the new San Siro is completed, these green spaces will be returned to the local council.

FGG Says
The rebirth of San Siro signals more than a construction project; it is a turning point for Milanese football and the city itself. As Inter and AC Milan embrace a shared vision of renewal, the challenge lies in balancing progress with preservation: creating a modern arena that reflects Milan's global stature without erasing the emotional weight of its old cathedral.
Whether this transformation becomes a triumph of innovation or a loss of heritage will ultimately define the legacy of Italian football's most iconic stage.
