The president and founder of the Wanda Group has admitted frustration over their investment in Atletico Madrid.
Wang Jianlin, considered the richest man in China, said that his investment in the football sector is not profitable, in the same way that the real estate and entertainment sector can be.
While he said that he likes "money more than sports", he also explained that entering into the football world and other sports such as cycling can grant you access to other global business that would otherwise be very difficult to get into.
Wanda is already one of the top six sponsors of world football's governing body, FIFA.
