Andrea Radrizzani of Leeds United has been credited with an interest in Palermo.
Media Gol in Italy has reported that Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is ‘very interested’ in potentially buying Palermo.
The Italian businessman completed a full takeover of Leeds a little over two years ago and is now setting his sights on another one, if rumours are believed.
According to Media Gol, Radrizzani could be a ‘serious’ prospector of the stricken club, who were relegated to Serie C in May over ‘administrative irregularities’.
If the 44-year-old does go ahead with the move, he would be Palermo’s fourth owner in a year.
The club’s long-time president Maurizio Zamparini sold out for £8.66 to British company Sport Capital Group in December, before Arkus Network bought the Rosanero in May.
In March, Daniela De Angeli and Rino Foschi, Zamparini’s former associates, bought it from SCG.
Radrizzani’s reported interest is bound to prompt more speculation over Qatari Sports Investments taking over Championship side Leeds.
The trail has gone cold in recent months, but it was reported by Le Parisien at the beginning of July that QSI – whose chairman Nasser El-Khelaifi has a business relationship with Radrizzani – were willing to spend £70 million on buying the Elland Road club.
