Red Bull's rumored interest in adding to its global family of soccer clubs has been around for a while: most notably and persistently last year, when the company was linked to a takeover of Leeds United.
The Leeds rumor may be ready for another run in the sun. In October, German journalist Raphael Honigstein told Guardian podcast Football Weekly he believed Red Bull was still interested in Leeds, but was waiting for controversial owner Massimo Cellino to step aside.
The end-game in many ways, I think, for Rangnick - although he won't admit this on the record - is to go and see if they can get Leeds.
