1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 11th Milan Mayor Sara said that if the San Siro area is sold for real estate development, it would be possible to make more money, but then there would be no stadium in Milan.
The Milan Municipal Government is preparing to sell the San Siro Stadium and its surrounding areas to two clubs, Milan and Inter Milan, to build a new stadium belonging to the club. But some people criticized the city’s asking price for too low, and Mayor Sara explained: “We want to build new stadiums in this area, and it will eventually be a funding issue, which is normal. I want to encourage the club to stay in Milan and stay in San Siro, but I did not give anything to anyone for free.” Mayor Sara continued: “Some people criticize us for giving the land to the club for free and think that the city government can earn more income by selling the land. I admit that it is true, as long as we no longer build new stadiums, but build a lot of houses on this land, then these lands can be sold at a higher price. However, we don’t want Milan and Inter to move to the San Donato or Rozano area.”
In the end, Mayor Sara said: “Nevertheless, I love my job. It’s just that when one person does things seriously, there are always 10 people next to him who sing the opposite tune.”
