Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani has been outspoken about the San Siro’s outdated standards and discussed plans for a new stadium.
With a public statement via ANSA (via Gianluca Di Marzio), Milan revealed CEO Giorgio Furlani’s statements from Investopia 2024, a finance and business conference held in Saudi Arabia. He confessed that the club’s existing home, San Siro, does not fulfill the fans’ current expectations due to its age, and that they are trying to create a new stadium in San Donato. The statement read: “Our current stadium [San Siro], with its age and limitations, no longer meets the standards necessary to offer an optimal experience to our fans.”
Furlani underlined the Rossoneri club’s ambition to broaden its reach in the Middle East and the Americas while working on their new home. He went on to say: “Looking ahead, Milan’s future plan includes the continuation of our international expansion path in the Middle East and America, together with the ambitious project of a new stadium in San Donato.”
Milan and Inter have shared the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, also known as the San Siro, since 1947, when the Nerazzurri moved from the Arena Civica. The stadium was inaugurated on September 19, 1926, for the Milan Derby, and has had little refurbishment since then. Inter is also aiming to build a new ground in the Rozzano Municipality soon.
