Buoyant Leeds majority owner Andrea Radrizzani claims fresh investment at Elland Road could help his side challenge Manchester City as English football's top dogs.
The outspoken Italian believes a cash boost from Qatari Sports, who own Paris Saint-Germain , can turbocharge the Elland Road side back to the top.
Radrizzani, who boasts a strong relationship with Nasser Al-Khelaifi, insists the billionaire investment group are keen to stake their claim in Leeds .
The 45-year-old also believes it's of vital importance Marcelo Bielsa's side are backed with serious cash if they earn promotion from the Championship this season.
Radrizzani told the Times : “I have been approached by more than 20 parties and I have selected these three.
“The option of Qatar Sports Investment and Nasser — first of all they are friends, we have had a good relationship for a long time. Secondly, they have the possibility to bring this club to compete with Manchester City, so for the fans that could be a fantastic opportunity.
“The second is based in America, he’s a big fan of Leeds United since he was a child, and I like that. Another one is the owner of an Italian club. With another club you can create synergy to be more competitive and to target the Premier League — we could maybe get a loan to increase the quality of the team.”
“The most important thing for me is to make this club big again. When I will open the door to others I don’t know, hopefully when we are in the Premier League . The financial support would be more important in the Premier League."
Leeds narrowly missed out on promotion last season and are desperate to end their 15-year absence from English football's top table after financial chaos sent them into a tailspin.
