Why does San Siro stadium need to go?
BBC Sport looks at why it's time for AC Milan and Inter to "move into the future" and replace one of the world's most prestigious football stadiums with a new arena in San Siro.www.bbc.co.uk
AC Milan and Inter have finalised the purchase of their San Siro stadium and confirmed plans to demolish and replace it with a 71,500-capacity arena.
The demolition of San Siro, widely regarded as one of the world's most prestigious football stadiums, has been mooted for years as its condition has deteriorated over time.
Now the two clubs, who have shared the stadium since 1947, have paid €197m (£173m) to the city council to take control of the structure and surrounding land, which they say is a sign of "shared ambition for long-term success".
The new stadium will have a capacity of roughly 4,000 fewer seats than the current San Siro and will be designed by firms operated by Sir Norman Foster and David Manica, who played crucial roles in the planning of the new Wembley Stadium.
BBC Sport has spoken to key figures and finance experts in order to determine whether the move makes sense and find out if it could help two of Europe's most famous clubs compete regularly against the more wealthy Premier League sides.
