Zhang: Hello San Siro, Inter has chosen the area for its stadium. Tension grows with Milan.
Inter will have its own stadium and it will not be San Siro. Steven Zhang's club has an operational plan B, which is about to become plan A. There is already an identified area within the municipality of Milan. Moreover, it is a private land and the Nerazzurri club has a sealed agreement with the entrepreneur who owns the area.
Built in 1926, the San Siro stadium has been hosting Milan and Inter matches since 1947. Before that, the two teams changed several facilities in the city: 6 for Milan and 3 for Inter. Watch the video Stadio Milano, tutti gli impianti di Milan e Inter prima di San Siro (Milan Stadium, all the facilities of Milan and Inter before San Siro).
The location is top secret, but it will not be long before the details are revealed. What is missing? Basically, Inter wants to have the certainty that there is really no chance to proceed with San Siro. Is that possible? Even in the face of a Milan now determined to build their own facility elsewhere? The answer is yes. And it is the result of a question that Steven Zhang himself has asked in recent hours. The backstage story emerges directly from the Viale della Liberazione club: the president has recounted having had several discussions with Gordon Singer, son of Paul, former owner of Milan through the Elliott fund, who is still a board member of the Rossoneri. He was the man, so to speak, whom Zhang and all of Inter had as a reference point on the stadium issue, on the shared idea of building a new facility in the San Siro area. Zhang and Singer met personally in Riyadh a month ago, on the occasion of the last Supercoppa. But Inter, after indirectly learning about Gerry Cardinale's orientation on the subject, announces a new direct contact in recent days between Zhang and Gordon Singer. A phone call, specifically, in which - according to the Nerazzurri reconstruction - Singer confirmed to the Inter president the orientation of moving forward with San Siro. As if, on his side, nothing had changed from before. And as if, within the Rossoneri club, the direction was not unique and there was great confusion on the issue.
