Well the club managers announced otherwise today. San Siro is set to be demolished soon, and the new venue will sit on a nearby area.

Without the approvation of the Comune di Milano, the owner of the San Siro stadium, they can't do nothing

ACM and Inter: San Siro will be demolished, new one ready by 2023

 

Comune de Milano: TU NON PUOI PASSERE!

San Siro will be demolished (someday) so we will play somewhere else by 2023 (even if San Siro would still exist by then). That's how I understand it.

the stadium and the entire area are a property of the city of Milan...

the 2 soccer teams are only renting (99 years agreement, restarted a few years ago) the right to host their games in that stadium...

to change even the smallest thing, it must be officially approved by the city council (and because of the typical Italian burocracy, only asking for some modification requires years...imagine what could happen if they ask for demolition and rebuilding -considered also the fact that also all the people resident in that area are strongly against any work that could affect their lives in terms of annoying sounds, traffic limitations -and that's already a critical area for that)...

 

basically, there's no chance the stadium will be touched until the 2026 Games are over...

 

if the 2 main soccer teams of our city want a new stadium, they have to find another area outside the city limits (because the city council will never give any permission to build a new stadium in town)...

 

any other argument, it's just an attempt to apply some political pressure to get what they want but can't get (at least for now)...

I'd say he was correct, excluding the word "so". Yes, IOC is corrupted. And yes, the result was expected. But this time the first one doesn't influence the second one, I think.
