'Golden opportunity' knocks for Chinese footballers in Spain - CNN.com
CNN)The Chinese are coming -- to European football -- and billionaire Wang Jianlin hopes his decision to invest $52 million for a 20% stake in Spanish champion Atletico Madrid (ATM) will open doors for China's best players.
"This investment will not only provide a golden opportunity for young Chinese players sent overseas by Wanda to be selected by leading European football clubs, it will also strengthen the quality of Chinese football and narrow the gap between the rest of the world," Wang said Wednesday.
Wang Jianlin's Wanda Group will be the first Chinese company to invest in a top-flight European football club.
In exchange, Wang will get a seat on Atletico's board of directors.
By 2017, the 60-year-old Wang aims to be making annual investments of $23 million to support the development of 180 young Chinese players in Spain, an initiative dubbed China's "Future Star Program."
