What we have with Internacional is officially known as a strategic partnership, not sure what it really means. I'm also not too sure whether we have first option, in honesty I'm not sure if such terms do exist, all I know about it is via FM so it's fairly questionable knowledge from my part....
From our OS....
The Club is delighted to announce that it has concluded a strategic partnership with Brazilian club Sport Club Internacional for the purposes of working together to develop players for both the Club and other European Leagues.
The chairman of Inter said this...
"This strategic partnership between two globally renowned clubs is an innovation in Brazilian football and will result not only in the exchange of youth players, but also in a comprehensive development of the Porto Alegre-based club by sharing expertise in areas such as marketing, promotions, trade opportunities, media and public relations."
This partnership thing helped us get Sandro for 8m so I think it's come good already for us in my opinion. Getting Damiao is a pipe dream though, even if we have 1st option I doubt we'll be able to pay the same that Inter (Italian Inter) will when they want a long term replacement for Forlan, Milito's not young either is he....
