According to a statement from Inter, it is the first time Deutsche Bank has agreed to a deal of this scale in Italian soccer. Deutsche Bank has been active in Italy since 1977.

"We have a highly reliable partner with whom we can share strategies directed to our fans," said Marco Fassone, general manager of FC Internazionale.

"Deutsche Bank's interest in Inter and its new commercial policy which resulted in the signing of this agreement is a demonstration of esteem in our regard."
