Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has hit back at an Inter Milan fan on Twitter.

Radrizzani has strongly criticised the newly-formed European Super League and is firmly against the idea.

Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter, Real Madrid and Barcelona are among the teams who are the Founding Clubs of the breakaway league.

An Inter fan have hit out at Radrizzani, saying that if Leeds were in the European Super League, then the Italian businessman would not be so vocal.

The Inter fan wrote, as translated from Italian: “Radrizzani you speak because you are the owner of Leeds if you were the owner of a big English club you would have already entered. When the fox does not get to the grapes, it says that it is sour.”

Radrizzani responded: “You could ask the Atalanta fans and players what they think.”

Atalanta have done well in Serie A in recent years. They have finished in the top four regularly and feature in the Champions League, but they are not part of the European Super League.

Leeds are playing in the Premier League for the first time this season since 2004 and are doing extremely well.

The West Yorkshire club are likely to finish in the Premier League top 10, and the fans are over the moon with the way the team are playing at the moment.

The Whites may not be part of the European Super League, but the fans won’t care as they are back in the Premier League where they belong.

Leeds fans will be delighted to see club chairman Radrizzani take a stance against the European Super League.
