Leeds United’s chairman Andrea Radrizzani is reportedly meeting the owners of Paris Saint-Germain.

Andrea Radrizzani, Owner of Leeds United (L) looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Bristol City and Leeds United at Ashton Gate on October 21, 2017 in Bristol, England.

According to a report from L’Equipe, Andrea Radrizzani is meeting with Qatar Sport Investment on Monday, with the owners of Paris Saint-Germain interested in buying Leeds United.

There has been speculation surrounding the future of the Championship club for a while now. The Daily Mail claimed back in February that Radrizzani could look to sell if the Whites failed to seal promotion to the Premier League this past season.

It must be noted that Radrizzani strongly denied those claims at the time. But it does appear that it could be a situation to keep an eye on in the coming weeks and months.

That is because L’Equipe are now reporting that PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is meeting with Radrizzani in Doha on Monday to discuss buying the club. It is not entirely clear whether the reported talks are concerning a full buy-out of the Italian’s stake or for a smaller share of the Elland Road outfit.

While Radrizzani has not avoided criticism during his time as Leeds owner, the majority of the supporters appear to have been very pleased with the progress that the club have made during his tenure.

Marcelo Bielsa nearly guided the club back to the Premier League this past season and Leeds are likely to be amongst the favourites for promotion next season.

And given some of the owners that Whites supporters have had to put up with in recent times, it would be little surprise if some were slightly apprehensive about what a change of ownership could mean while everything seems to be somewhat up in the air.
