Report: Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani keen to takeover Valencia

According to Spanish outlet Marca, Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is keen to oversee a takeover of La Liga giants Valencia.

The club current owner Peter Lim appears willing to sell his stakes having fallen out of favour with the fans and due to the economic situation the coronavirus pandemic has put the side in, and it seems Radrizzani is looking to move.

The Italian helped Leeds return to the top-flight this year after arriving at Elland Road in January 2017 to buy 50% of the club’s shares.

Radrizzani purchased the remaining 50% shares from former co-owner Massimo Cellino four months later and completed the purchase of Elland Road the following month, making the stadium the property of Leeds for the first time since 2004.
