Inter and Milan, San Siro sale investigation: Beppe Sala’s post, Malangone’s move

If Milan and Inter had abandoned San Siro to build their stadiums in San Donato Milanese and Rozzano, “it would have been a disaster and the Municipality would have been left with an obsolete, very expensive facility that could only be used for a few concerts in the summer”, losing the related activities of football matches. The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, explains this in a series of stories on Instagram regarding the investigation into the sale of the stadium and surrounding areas to Inter and Milan (deed dated 5 November 2025), which triggered the seizure of devices from nine suspects on Tuesday, including former councilor Giancarlo Tancredi.

Despite having “hypothesized the renovation of the existing stadium – Sala continues -, in the end the choice would have been between having a new stadium in Milan and seeing the clubs migrate elsewhere. I am for the first hypothesis, and I also believe the vast majority of Milanese people. The stadium law authorizes, or rather pushes the Municipalities, to negotiate directly with the local clubs, without the need for any public notice. The public notice, therefore, was made only to verify that there were no interested parties to propose alternative solutions to those of Milan and Inter. I 35 days were foreseen only for a generic expression of interest in purchasing or restructuring”.

Meanwhile, the general director of the Municipality of Milan, Christian Malangone, right-hand man of the mayor Beppe Sala, refused to turn on the computer in his office and provide the Guardia di Finanza with the access passwords, just as he denied the unlock code for his mobile phone: devices on which the Milan Prosecutor’s Office in the authorization decree explained to him that it wanted to search for the messages “an indispensable source of evidence in consideration of the fact that Malangone appears to have been the person in most direct and closest contact with the interlocutors private” Inter and Milan.
