CM: No need to fear as San Siro delay was foreseen by Milan and Inter

Yesterday, news arrived that the signing of the San Siro deed had been delayed. However, there is no need to panic, with AC Milan and Inter remaining calm.

We are getting ever closer to the deadline for the San Siro deal, but no one is panicking around the clubs. Instead, all parties remaining focused on the task at hand, and not becoming worried over nothing.

No need to worry

Perhaps, yesterday would have been a reason for a bit of unnerve. However, this has quickly been silenced.

Calciomercato.com reports that the expectation was for things to be finalised yesterday or today, but they will now finalise the documents at some stage next week, which remains ahead of the November 10 deadline.

Neither the clubs nor those at Palazzo Marino are at fault for this delay, though. Instead, it is the time required to obtain financial guarnatees. Before the deal is signed, the Municipality must receive around €100m from the banks.

This was expected by the clubs, though, and is the reason that the earlier deadline was proposed, to effectively give themselves an extra window to get things processed, rather than fighting against time. Considering what is at stake with the project, it makes sense why such a level of safety was taken.
