Monday will be a decisive day for the future of San Siro and the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, as the city council will today meet and vote on the proposed decision to sell the site and stadium to the football clubs Milan and Inter.

Here is everything you need to know about the situation and what happens next.

What is happening with San Siro?

Earlier this month, Milan mayor Giuseppe Sala confirmed that there was an ‘agreement’ in place to sell the San Siro site, including the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, to the clubs Milan and Inter.

The two clubs are hoping to completely renovate the ground to bring it up to the most modern of standards, and to have a ground that is capable of hosting during EURO 2032.

The city council met on Thursday to discuss the details of a proposed sale of San Siro, and will meet again on Monday to hold a decisive vote on the matter.

Milan has 48 city councillors, plus mayor Sala, and require a majority of them to vote in favour of the proposed San Siro sale. If Monday’s vote ends level, there will be one re-vote. If that, ends level for a second time, however, the motion will not be passed and San Siro will not be sold to Milan and Inter.

Reports last week claimed that the city councillors are split evenly in their voting intentions, and that there is currently only one member who is still undecided. That means that Monday’s vote could still go either way.

Among the main arguments of those opposing the proposed San Siro sale is that Milan and Inter are currently owned by US-based investment firms, who would assume control of valuable city land, and that they could potentially look to sell that land on for a profit in the future.

Those arguing in favour claim that the city of Milan needs a new, state-of-the-art venue capable of holding major sporting and entertainment events.

According to Monday’s reports, the city councillors will meet to hold their vote at around 16.30 local time (15.30) BST. A decision will follow soon afterwards.
