Beppe Marotta is growing tired of waiting for the San Siro resolution.

Indeed, it’s taking a lot more than expected for AC Milan and Inter to acquire the stadium and the surrounding areas.

Therefore, Marotta issued a warning to the city of Milan regarding the issue after last night’s win over Sassuolo.

Despite confirming it as a priority, the Nerazzurri chief admitted the club would be ready to look elsewhere.

It’s now up to the Milan City Council to decide.

However, time is ticking, with Milan and Inter already exploring alternative options.

Indeed, updating or rebuilding a modern venue would better serve both the clubs and the city’s sporting future.
