How do Leeds fans feel about Massimo Cellino selling the club?
Reports that Massimo Cellino is set to sell Leeds United have increased this week, despite their recent excellent form.
Italian news outlet Calciomercato report Cellino is negotiating with businessman Andrea Radrizzani, and plans to sell Leeds and potentially acquire a stake in Serie B side Brescia.
Cellino’s desire to stay at Leeds has been in question for the past 12 months, but there have been few developments.

The reports this week suggest there could soon be activity, although for now Cellino is staying quiet on the issue, as he has done for the entire season.
On the pitch the season could not be going better for Leeds, who sit in sixth position, occupying a play-off spot, and are into the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
The fear is that off field activity could be an unwelcome distraction for the team, but potentially positively, a takeover to Radrizzani and his investors, could help Garry Monk’s side go to the next level.

With Leeds in sixth and closer to the Premier League, there may be no better time for Cellino to sell in case the form trails off, while buyers may also want to act swiftly in case they get promoted beforehand and become more valuable.
Supporters are understandably cautious despite a general desire for Cellino to sell up.
