Torino files stadium redevelopment plan with Turin council

Torino has filed with Turin city council a feasibility proposal to redevelop and manage the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino and the Robaldo sports centre, drawn up with the Polytechnic of Turin. The filing ends months of pressure from the administration of mayor Stefano Lo Russo, which had set a December 31 ultimatum. Municipal technical staff will now assess the project, with a verdict expected between year-end and January. A public tender of around 60 days would follow, with final award targeted for late summer or early autumn, and a surface right of up to 99 years, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. The move comes as club president Urbano Cairo is ready to sell, with Bank of America already tasked with finding buyers.
