Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani denies club’s pre-season tour was a business venture.
Leeds United embarked on a controversial post season tour to Myanmar last month.
Now club owner Andrea Radrizzani’s company Eleven Sports have announced a lucrative deal to screen domestic football in Myanmar.
Radrizzani has come out to insist that Leeds’ post season tour was not undertaken simply to earn a business deal.
He said that Leeds going out to Myanmar was a favour, after the deal was originally agreed back in January.
Radrizzani added that he wished he had not been able to take Leeds out there, as he originally wanted the Whites to be playing play-off football in early May.
The Italian is keen to try and make the differences clear between his two businesses.
The line began to blur with the Myanmar deal, and Radrizzani is trying to be transparent and ensure it is a non-issue for Leeds and their fans.
