Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has offered fans a tantalising glimpse of a future spending spree – once the club get promoted.

Speaking to Talksport, Radrizzani says he has formulated big plans for when Leeds reach the Premier League.

He says at present he is reluctant to invest too much.

Radrizzani said: “I start to play when I go up. At the moment I am just observing football.

“Hopefully it will be soon.”

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani looks on before the Sky Bet Championship match between Derby County and Leeds United at iPro Stadium on February 21, 2018 in Derby, England.

Radrizzani is well connected across the world due to his media rights business. In the past year he has been picture with PSG’s owners, and also persuaded the San Francisco 49ers to acquire a stake in Leeds.

It’s obvious he has a plan on a bigger scale once Leeds reach the top flight and unlock the riches on offer.

The problem is that it is so tough to get there, and Radrizzani is reluctant to commit to big transfer fees to win promotion.

Fans can only hope he can figure out a way to get it done this season, and manager Marcelo Bielsa buys in.
