Adriano Galliani Underlines Need For New Stadia In Italy

Milan CEO Adriano Galliani has raised fresh questions over Serie A's stadia, and he is ready to pull out all the stops to help develop ideas for new venues.

Milan and Inter currently pay €8.2 million per annum to rent the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, which is owned by the local authority.

But Galliani has highlighted the need for transition to club-owned stadia - a common feature of thriving Bundesliga and Premier League sides - as he looks at the socio-economic angle.

"Our stadiums are old and uncomfortable. Look at Bayern Munich for example, since they built a new stadium their revenue has increased by €60m," Galliani told the press.

"I understand that it's comfortable for the council to make us and Inter pay rent, but if we want to compete we have to change perspective.

"A new stadium is essential for a club that wants to compete in future."
