Today, a delegation from AC Milan, led by President Paolo Scaroni, and Inter Milan, with representatives from RedBird (including David Castelblanco, Partner and Head of Sports & Media) and Oaktree, met with Mayor Sala. They were joined by Lord Norman Foster and architect David Manica. Manica subsequently issued a statement:
“We are thankful to the Mayor for his warm reception and the time dedicated to us. As we await the finalization of the process, this meeting provided an excellent opportunity to share the vision and ambition driving the project. We are indeed grateful to Oaktree and RedBird for entrusting Foster + Partners and MANICA with the esteemed opportunity to design the new stadium for Inter and Milan, and we are profoundly honored by it. This project signifies not only a substantial investment in the future of sports but also a profound commitment to the city of Milan and its rich cultural, architectural, and sporting heritage. I wish to particularly emphasize the crucial roles played by President Scaroni and the RedBird ownership.”
President Scaroni`s Vision:
- More than anyone, President Scaroni has consistently championed the new stadium project, making it a top priority for AC Milan over the years.
- It has been over six years since the new stadium`s master plan was presented to the City Council on July 10, 2019 – precisely 2,287 days as of October 13, 2025.
RedBird`s Strategic Commitment:
- A crucial driving force behind the new stadium initiative stems from RedBird ownership`s strategic vision and concrete commitment, reinforced by their proven international expertise in stadium development.
- RedBird aims to provide fans with a world-class stadium and an unparalleled experience befitting AC Milan and the city of Milan, aligning with modern standards and capable of becoming an iconic landmark not just in the sports world, but for Italy as a whole.
