CF: Detailed timeline emerges for new stadium construction and San Siro demolition

With AC Milan and Inter now the owners of San Siro, the roadmap can be officially laid out, and a report has looked at the plans.

There has been a lot of talk in the past few weeks about what will happen with San Siro and when. Of course, there is a lot to do, from demolition to building the new stadium. It is not a short-term project, so things will happen gradually.

It seems that the final step, as it were, will be taken in May 2032, so in almost seven years. Again, not a short process.

New plans

Today, Calcio e Finanza have provided a detailed breakdown of the plans from the next few weeks to the next few years. The end date of the project is actually closer to 2036, rather than 2032, it seems too.

It is interesting to see that everything is planned in two phases, as it were. However, with it being two projects, effectively, it does make a lot of sense.
