MK Dons Chairman Pete Winkelman said: “I’m very grateful to Milton Keynes Council that our continued partnership has seen them consider a new opportunity for the football club to remain within the Borough, especially in MK’s 50th birthday year.

“This would provide the club with an attractive option and potentially a more straight-forward delivery route within Milton Keynes.

“This is another step to achieving the dream of having international-standard training facilities for the club and the community.”
