Andrea Radrizzani has posted a cryptic message on social media website Twitter, with rumours circulating that he could be interested in taking over Leeds United.

Radrizzani has emerged as a potential buyer for Leeds, and he has been hinting that a takeover bid is edging closer this week.

The Italian first ‘liked’ a Leeds supporter’s message, suggesting that he was set to take control of the club.

And Raddrazzani may now have offered the clearest message yet that he is getting close to buying Leeds from Massimo Cellino.

“One step closer …but need more time,” he posted on Twitter.

Earlier in the week it was suggested by TMW that Cellino was keen to keep hold of his stake in Leeds.

However, Radrizzani’s tweet suggests that a deal for the Yorkshire club could still be done in the near future.

Radrizzani has made his fortune through his Italian sports rights firm MP & Silva.

Leeds are currently in sixth place in the Championship table, after winning nine of their last 12 matches.
