Last month, The Financial Times reported Andrea Radrizzani was looking to sell a stake of his shares at Leeds United.

On June 3rd, we carried a report from L’Equipe, who explained the Whites boss had a meeting with Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) – the company backing Paris Saint-Germain – in Doha on Monday.

It was claimed the negotiations between the two parties ‘have been ongoing for months’ as the Championship side are of serious interest to QSI.

Today’s edition of L’Equipe looks into the  plans with regards to Leeds, making clear this has been a long term thing

It’s once again relayed that QSI chairman Nasser al-Khelaïfi and Radrizzani have recently met to talk about the deal.

After negotiating for several months, there was progress made in mid-May following Leeds’ defeat to Derby County in the play-off semi-final.

For QSI, there are several reasons why the choice is Leeds, and one of them is cost.

In addition to this, Al-Khelaïfi and Radrizzani have known each other for a decade and this could help in negotiations.

 

L’Equipe are already giving coverage to the prospect of PSG youngsters moving to Leeds United on loan.
