Could there be a takeover at Leeds United soon?
The report has claimed that Al-Khelaifi is hopeful that the £120 million deal will be finalised before the the start of next season.
The Qatari businessman has been in talks with Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani, but they have now taken a backseat, according to the report.
Positive news
One can understand why talks are not going on at the moment. After all, football in England and France is currently suspended due to the global health crisis, and there is economic uncertainty.
Moreover, the season still needs to be finished so that Leeds can clinch promotion to the Premier League.
Radrizzani has been superb for the Whites, and with a bit more investment, the club can achieve great things in the Premier League.
Leeds are a massive club, and once they get into the Premier League, things will just get bigger and better.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are at the top of the Championship table at the moment and will hope that the campaign gets underway soon.
Meanwhile, Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear has refuted speculation that the players have been training at Thorp Arch despite the lockdown rules.
Kinnear wrote in The Yorkshire Evening Post: “On the football side, a deliberately erroneous press report online last weekend suggested that Marcelo Bielsa was still running full training sessions at Thorp Arch. Nothing could be further from the truth.
“As you would expect, Marcelo and his team are meticulously following EFL and governmental protocol. The training ground is only being used for individual rehabilitation and for locally based players to undergo solo outdoor exercise in a lower risk environment than residential streets.”
