Fabian Delph is a popular figure among Leeds United fans, despite leaving 10 years ago.

Fabian Delph talks to the press after an England training session at St Georges Park on May 22, 2018 in Burton-upon-Trent, England.

The news of a Leeds United takeover isn’t going away.

L’Equipe in France reported that Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani was meeting with Qatar Sport Investment – who own Paris Saint-Germain – in Doha today.

If a takeover materialises, the Whites will have a lot more money to use on transfers this summer, after Radrizzani said last month that he anticipated a ‘difficult’ window in terms of investment.

And could a certain Fabian Delph return to Elland Road if QSI successfully buys the Yorkshire club?

The Sun reported last month that Leeds enquired about the Manchester City midfielder, only to be put off by a £15 million price-tag.

But that sort of money surely wouldn’t be a major issue if the Qatar-based company buys Radrizzani out.

Delph, who turns 30 in November, quit Leeds a decade ago after coming through the club’s academy, and no doubt most United fans would love him back at Elland Road next term.
