Cremonese wants to buy the Zini stadium

Despite the fact that Cremonese already enjoys the 99-year lease of Cremona's Zini stadium, the Lombard club has come out of the closet and declared its intention to buy it outright. A goal that would certainly be important for the newly-promoted club, which has already invested around 5 million in recent months to refurbish the stadium and meet all the safety standards that the League requires of every club in Serie A. While waiting for AC Milan and Inter to figure out what to do with the new San Siro stadium, another Lombard club is preparing to become an owner, thus putting itself in step with foreign teams, in particular the English ones who make the revenue raised at the stadium a great strong point. 

Cremonese would thus become the fifth team in Italy to have its own stadium, joining the list of virtuous clubs that so far includes: Juventus with its Allianz Stadium, Udinese with its colourful Dacia Arena, Sassuolo's Mapei Stadium and finally Atalanta's Gewiss Stadium, which will be completed at the end of this summer. At the moment there is still the will and no offer has been formalised to the municipality, but with this acquisition Cremonese would take a really important step, both for its growth and ambitions and for Italian football, in search of new and modern stadiums after having presented its candidature for Euro28.
