San Siro likely to be knocked down for new stadium - Sala

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 27 - Millan's San Siro stadium is likely to be knocked down to make way for a new ground that Serie A giants AC Milan and Inter plan to build, Mayor Giuseppe Sala said on Thursday.
    The clubs have presented plans to build a new 60,000-seater stadium and the city has started a public consultation process regarding the project.
    "There is a procedure to be followed, but the new stadium will probably happen," Sala told a group of students at the Collegio delle Università Milanesi foundation.
    "We are proceeding with the public debate, which will finish on November 18.
    "To get a return on the investment, the clubs must have shopping centres and offices.
    "If we were to keep San Siro, they would clearly go somewhere else.
    "So at that point if becomes necessary to knock down San Siro".
