The stake in City Football Group, owner of Melbourne City and New York City football clubs was estimated in around $400m. It was one of the big operations which started consolidating Chinese presence in European football, together with the recent acquisition of 25% of Atlético de Madrid by Dalian Wanda. This move by China Media Capital has also triggered the acquisition of other Football Clubs bu Chinese investor groups such as Granada CF and Internazionale de Milan.
