Massimo Cellino says there's a number of suitors to buy Leeds
The Italian pulled out of a potential sale to Leeds Fans United this month, but is still open to offers for the club from elsewhere.
He admitted one of the six interested parties is a Leeds-based businessman who has shown interest in the past and would consider a partnership with Cellino.
The 59-year-old would not reveal who the potential partner would be, however, Sky Sports news understands it will be Steve Parkin.
Parkin attempted to buy the club back in 2013 and has previously shown interest in purchasing the club.

Meanwhile Cellino says he would prefer any buyer to be Leeds-based, and believes the club is an attractive prospect given its current financial situation.
He last valued the club at £30 million, but has reportedly improved the books, leaving the club in a 'financially okay situation'.
