Brescia are believed to be looking for new investors, but Cellino is no longer set to put any money into the club.

Instead, Cellino wants to focus on Leeds – as he has reportedly decided against selling the Elland Road club.

There have been a number of reports recently, which have suggested that Cellino could be looking to leave Leeds.

However, the outspoken Italian has apparently decided that he wants to keep the Yorkshire club, as they push for promotion to the Premier League.

Leeds are currently in sixth place in the Championship table, and have won nine of their last 12 matches to increase their chances of claiming a play off spot this term.
