AC Milan and Inter reveal first pictures of new stadium as San Siro replacement unveiled after £543million naming rights deal

Italian giants AC Milan and Inter have detailed first images of their proposed new stadium ahead of demolishing the San Siro. 

The two sides have long looked to move on from their iconic home, with plans to destroy it initially put on hold until things got back on track recently. 

The teams shared a preview video of the new ground, with the aim of it opening in the 2031-32 season. It is set to be called the Generali Stadium, with naming rights sold to the brand until 2052 for £543million. 

Construction won't begin until 2028, and the stadium is set to hold 71,500 fans. It is to feature an X-frame structure and double-curved roof, with the frame to emphasise two curves, with one dedicated to Inter fans and the other to Milan supporters.

The stadium will be two-tiered, and will also be built with the idea of hosting concerts, with more public spaces, green areas and leisure and retail areas to be included.

Milan and Inter had initially planned on starting building in 2027, with plans to demolish the San Siro put into place as far back as 2019.

Images shared of the proposed stadium show the ground in all its expected glory in the heart of Milan.

One design showed a hypothetical game between Inter and AC Milan, with giant tifos of both sides shown in the ground.

The proposal of a concert is also presented, with bright lights on show and thousands of fans in the stadium.

There was initially no objection to the plans, but negotiations dragged on and concerns began to rise over the cultural impact of demolishing the ground, which was built more than 100 years ago.

In 2023, it was ruled that the San Siro could not be demolished because it has 'cultural interest'. In 2025, however, the clubs bought the site to build a new ground, which made the decision to demolish the ground possible.

In its initial form the stadium was completed in 1926 but the middle tier, along with the iconic spiral towers, was added in 1955.

The San Siro was supposed to host the Champions League final this season, but was stripped of the right by UEFA after authorities in the Italian city could not offer guarantees that refurbishment work at the stadium and the surrounding area would not affect the match.

The aim is to host matches at Euro 2032, which Italy will co-host with Turkey.
