The company would like to decide in a short time. The areas have strengths and weaknesses: the costs decide. For La Maura too much trouble. Rozzano is plan C
Paolo Maldini didn’t even say goodbye to San Siro but in this story the two old friends – Paolo and the stadium of his life – will end up leaving Milan during the same management. RedBird’s Milan has its priority in the stadium: too important for the club’s accounts, too priority for Gerry Cardinale who has been doing business with stadiums for a lifetime. And so, in the coming months, Milan will think a lot – still a lot – about the new plant. Also in this sense, there is news ready to happen. They will materialize in a few months, more likely in a few weeks.

Milan ruled out the new San Siro hypothesis some time ago: it will change. There is no room for second thoughts about farewell to the Cathedral project. Very hard times also for the La Maura hypothesis, the most fascinating for the club, pursued decisively but collapsed in the face of political vetoes, the green light that never arrived. Only a twist could bring that green area just over a kilometer from San Siro back to the center of thoughts. Much more probable that, at Maura, we will go back to the original idea, with a residential vocation. Homes, not a stadium.

So, we are on the ballot. The Rozzano hypothesis, in the area owned by Cabassi also evaluated by Inter, is in the second row, decidedly detached. The two “finalist” areas are San Donato and Sesto San Giovanni. Milan will probably leave the city, abandon Milan to play in the hinterland. After all, they are two very close solutions, almost incorporated into the city, reachable in 15-20 minutes by subway. Milan is still collecting information on both and negotiations are clearly underway at all levels, on two tables. The price of the area and the relative costs will be one of the great variables that will determine the choice. Before understanding who is the favorite and why, a few words about the times. Milan want to decide quickly, if possible within one or two months. Indeed, he has already postponed the decision. The idea is to start work in a couple of years – the planning phase is very long – and play the first game in the 2028-29 season, the best possible hypothesis. It is more probable that instead it will be postponed to 2029-30, for the 130th anniversary of the club.
San Donato

The San Francesco area in San Donato Milanese is convincing because it has direct access from the ring road, with a well-defined road network. Not only that, Milan could probably build there faster. The stadium would be accessible by underground, railway and car, it would be closed between two ring roads – a not too attractive position – but it would be very visible. The problem would be the high development costs, with a railway to be bypassed.

Sesto starts from a very different situation. The former Falck area is immense, fascinating because a renaissance is underway there. The City of Health and Research will soon be built and the stadium would complement the area perfectly. Furthermore, the works for the other works would make it possible to exploit already existing infrastructures. Complications, of course, abound. The costs and times for the reclamation of the area, for example. So? So the impression is that San Donato today has a few more chances. But June is long, very long.
