Leeds United are going strong in the Championship at the moment.
Leeds United co-owner Andrea Radrizzani has told The Independent that he plans to buy back the club’s home ground Elland Road.
As reported by The Independent, Elland Road is owned by Manchester businessman Jacob Adler.
Radrizzani, who acquired a 50% stake at Leeds from fellow Italian Massimo Cellino through his company, Aser Group Holding, has promised to look into the possibility of buying back the stadium.
“It’s an important topic,” Radrizzani told The Independent. “Elland Road is an iconic venue, not only for Leeds but for English football.
“All fans are very loyal to this stadium so it’s one of my priorities to evaluate the option to exercise the opportunity to buy back the stadium.
“I’m not promising this but I promise I will evaluate very carefully in the new few months the business case to buy it back. But we also need to analyse what is required to make it a little bit more modern.”
Leeds are one of the biggest clubs in England and have a loyal fanbase. The Whites have not featured in the Premier League since 2004, but there is a very good chance that they could get promoted at the end of the season.
Under head coach Garry Monk, the West Yorkshire outfit are going strong in the Championship and are one of the favourites to end up in the playoffs.
If Leeds are able to enhance the quality of their squad in the January transfer window, then they could even make a push for the playoffs.
The Whites will return to action on Saturday evening when they take on Barnsley away from home at Oakwell in the Championship.
