## Key points

- AC Milan and Inter plan a shared stadium for 2031.
- Generali will pay about €650 million for naming rights.
- The clubs say new facilities can strengthen their finances.

## Summary

AC Milan and Inter plan to replace the ageing San Siro with a shared 71,500-seat stadium, due to open in 2031 and named the Generali Stadium. The deal could give both clubs a major new source of income as they seek to compete with Europe’s wealthiest sides, though some supporters oppose losing the historic ground.

The Italian insurer Generali has agreed to pay about €650 million (£542 million) for naming rights through to 2052, equivalent to roughly £27 million per season, shared between the clubs. Building the stadium is expected to cost about €1.2 billion (£1 billion); the clubs also plan to sell nearly 12,000 premium or hospitality seats and host concerts and other sporting events. They bought San Siro and surrounding land for €197 million (£164 million) in 2025.
