According to The Athletic, Leeds United think that they can make over £250 million in annual revenue if they expand Elland Road.

It has been reported that Leeds are committed to expanding the current capacity of Elland Road to over 55,000.

The Premier League club plan to redevelop the north, west and south stands.

However, that is a long-term project and is not going to happen anytime soon.

The report has added that Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani believes that after the stadium expansion, the club ‘can bump their annual revenue over £250 million’.

Exciting times ahead

It takes time for stadiums to undergo development and expansion, and it is unlikely that Elland Road will have over 55,000 fans anytime soon.

However, this report is certainly very positive.

Radrizzani has been brilliant for Leeds since he arrived at the club.

Under the Italian businessman, the Whites have won promotion to the Premier League and have got a manager like Marcelo Bielsa.

It is exciting times at Leeds, and the fans must be very confident and optimistic about what could happen in the coming years.
