Leeds United owner has big ambitions.

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has told The Times he is holding discussions about outside investment into the club.

Radrizzani says he feels he has a duty to do what is best for Leeds and that is why he is looking for big money investors.

He says he has had numerous approaches and has whittled it down to three parties.

Radrizzani said: “I have been approached by more than 20 parties and I have selected these three.”

He detailed that one of them is Paris Saint-Germain’s owners QSI, while the others identities are not disclosed.

He says one is a wealthy Leeds fan based in America, while the third is an owner of an Italian club.

No imminent decision is expected, with Radrizzani adding that he may only sign off on the investment when Leeds win promotion, where more money will be required to compete.

He explained: “The most important thing for me is to make this club big again. When I will open the door to others I don’t know, hopefully when we are in the Premier League.”

Of course if Leeds fail to win promotion this season, Radrizzani could need a rethink.

Radrizzani’s ambition is great for Leeds fans to hear, and the club is firmly in the mix for promotion this season.

Currently the Whites sit in fifth, just two points off first place.
