Massimo Cellino has been linked with selling Leeds United.
Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino is reported by Calciomercato to be in ongoing discussions regarding selling the club to Italian mogul Andrea Radrizzani.
Radrizzani owns Italian sports rights firm MP & Silva, a company owned by Chinese investors as of earlier this year.

The potential buyer has not commented on the reports since they stepped up this week, but he has dropped a hint via Twitter.
Radrizzani ‘liked’ a message on Twitter from a Leeds United fan, celebrating the fact he is set to takeover the club.
The message from the Leeds supporters reads that Radrizzani is ‘about to takeover the greatest team in the world’.
Radrizzani is not being overt with his intentions, but he is not exactly shying away from the ongoing publicity about the negotiations either.
What is unclear, is the potential timeframe for the reported takeover, or his immediate intentions, but with the club in the midst of their best form during the Cellino era, there may be no better time for him to buy them, with a promotion challenge beginning to feel like a possibility, rather than a pipedream.
