Manchester City owners want a soccer club in Brazil. Could it be Internacional?

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Internacional can be part of the group of wealthiest clubs in Brazil. This possibility is real for Colorado and other teams since the City group wants to buy a Brazilian club in the future.

An executive would be responsible for gathering information about the teams to evaluate which one would be the best alternative for the group project that already has Manchester City and others.

The City Group, which is currently the largest in soccer, is willing to buy a club in Brazilian territory. An executive at the City Group, who has already lived in Brazil, has been commissioned to research and present ideas.

In Brazil, Cruzeiro and Botafogo have adopted the SAF model and have been recently bought out. Clubs like Vasco, América-MG, Chapecoense, Coritiba, and Portuguesa have already admitted to adopting the club-company model.

Today, the City Group has deals with two clubs in South America: Montevideo City Torque and Bolivar. Thus, the desire would be to have a team in Brazil, aiming to train young athletes who would be used in other teams around the world.

It is a project similar to that of Red Bull, which bought Bragantino in Brazil, and has as its philosophy the hiring and development of young athletes to be used by other company teams.

Would Internacional be one more? Check out the teams of the City Group around the world:
