Supporters are divided after revelations that the iconic San Siro will face demolition to make way for a brand new stadium.
AC Milan and Inter Milan will depart from their home of over 80 years in 2031 to move into a state-of-the-art facility.
Both Serie A clubs published images detailing what the upcoming Generali Stadium will look like.
The 71,500-seater ground will be built just meters away from the current San Siro location.
This means the beloved football cathedral will be DEMOLISHED to clear space.
Italian insurer Generali secured the naming rights for the venue.
According to reports, this 20-year agreement totals a staggering £540million.
The Milan-based teams distributed a video featuring projections of the future ground.
The familiar winding columns and red girders associated with the current stadium will disappear.
Instead, the arena will sport a modern aesthetic featuring a double-curved roof and a surrounding concrete X-frame structure.
The footage additionally displayed a transparent tunnel designed to bring supporters closer to players prior to kickoff.
The video indicates that the new venue will host functions beyond football, including fashion shows and concerts.
However, the proposals caused division among fans, with numerous individuals feeling upset that the historic San Siro will be torn down.
One supporter posted, “Another soulless bowl.”
A second wrote, “I'm glad I got to see the San Siro before they take it down.”
A third commented, “Sad and depressing.”
A fourth stated, “There's no way the historic San Siro is getting demolished, the games gone.”
A fifth argued, “Time to move on and it looks amazing.”
Another added, “Shame to see the San Siro go, but this new stadium looks great.”
The San Siro will stay operational while construction on the new stadium takes place.
Initial plans for the future home of AC Milan and Inter projected a 60,000 capacity, but the venue will actually hold more.
The 71,500 seats will encompass 13,000 premium seats alongside other contemporary amenities.
Upon completion, it will stand as the fifth-largest stadium across Europe.
AC Milan and Inter will have an opportunity to mark the stadium announcement on Saturday.
The two sides meet in another Derby di Milano match, which the BBC will broadcast.
