The spokesperson for Oaktree, Brookfield's credit company, announced today, during the presentation of the new Inter and Milan stadium held at the Castello Sforzesco, that the construction of the Generali Stadium represents a crucial step in the club's sustainable growth strategy. “When we became owners of Inter, we set ourselves the objective of charting a clear path for the sustainable growth and success of the club,” he declared, underlining the importance of this project for the two teams, their fans and the city of Milan.
The project, conceived by Foster + Partners and MANICA, envisages an architecture that respects the historic atmosphere of the San Siro, while offering a new iconic venue. The spokesperson reiterated that the architecture does not intend to erase tradition, but rather to preserve and enhance it, creating a modern environment that maintains the soul of the old stadium. “The Generali Stadium will preserve the atmosphere and soul of San Siro, while creating a new iconic venue for football,” he explained.
Oaktree, already owner of Inter, has expressed its desire to consolidate its presence in Italian football with a long-term investment. The new stadium, located in the heart of Milan, is expected to be completed within the next few years, with particular attention to environmental sustainability and usability for fans. Brookfield's credit platform, of which Oaktree is part, has already outlined a financial plan that provides for efficient management of resources and an economic return for the club.
The spokesperson also highlighted the importance of this project for the city, which will be able to benefit from a new international-level sports infrastructure. “It is an exciting moment for both teams, their fans and the city of Milan,” he added, indicating that the Generali Stadium will be a point of reference not only for football, but for events of various kinds. With this step, Inter and Milan are approaching a new era, in which tradition merges with innovation, promising a successful and sustainable future for Milanese football.
