Andrea Radrizzani has poured cold water on rumours of an imminent Leeds United takeover.
The club’s chairman has caused quite a stir among the Leeds faithful after he confirmed interest from PSG owners Qatar Sports Investment, alongside two other parties.
“They have the possibility to bring this club to compete with Manchester City, so for the fans that could be a fantastic opportunity,” he said in an interview with The Times.
But he’s since taken to Twitter, replying to the journalist he spoke with, to clarify the statement.
The Italian distanced himself from the idea any takeover would be imminent, just that the club’s size could potentially see a deal take place further down the line.
Martyn, the talk was about how Leeds will be again competitive and how we are working hard to be back as a top club again ...and eventually when makes sense open to other partners. Thank you
