AC Milan and Inter Milan may lay an artificial pitch at the San Siro.

The clubs had already considered the possibility of using an artificial playing surface, as since the third tier was added to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in 1990, the air flow means the grass does not grow effectively.

Tuttosport says Milan and Inter have found a different solution to the artificial pitch that is used by Cesena and Novara in Serie A this season.

The new system to be introduced in 2013-14 would be only semi-artificial, so the grass is real, but growing on a synthetic surface.
