On Milan's constantly growing revenues and the relationship with the fans
—
“I arrived at Milan in 2017 as a councilor. Financial sustainability is a non-choice and mandatory to win. Otherwise UEFA will penalize you. Through sustainability we are the Serie A club that has invested the most. Then the results may not be seen. Through Milan Futuro is making a big bet on young peoplewhich costs us several million, but it is an investment of which we are confident. I am confident, we are here to win. Let the fans have faith, we only think about winning matches“.
On the stadium
—
“I don't want to absolve the politics of the Municipality of Milan. Six years have passed and nothing has happened, we are working on the same project that I presented in 2018. People told me that I wanted to knock down the most beautiful stadium in the world. San Siro is not iconic, Milan and Inter are. Fans see modern stadiums and see very different objects from those we have in Italy. It was also a process for the Milanese, who realized that San Siro is beautiful, but that a new one is needed. The plan of San Donato was A and has now become B since the superintendence removed the restriction for the restructuring of the Meazza alongside a new stadium. Now a negotiation process begins: Inter and Milan must buy the stadium, the areas around it and all the permits. We are negotiating a contract with the Municipality of Milan which must be perfect, we are working towards this. I'm optimistic“.
On the growth decree and piracy
—
“The only measure that was taken was against football when the growth decree was removed. The other thing that was done is a law to abolish piracy, which is a good thing, but it is not applied. It is possible to hit those who produce the programs, but not those who buy them. We also want to punish those who buy the piece. The damage from piracy is 500 million per year.”
