Radrizzani is reportedly in takeover talks with current Leeds owner and fellow Italian Massimo Cellino.

Andrea Radrizzani hinted he was close to a Leeds deal last week
He was reportedly in the UK for talks last week and cryptically tweeted that he was close to agreeing a deal.
“One step closer… but need more time," Radrizzani wrote.
And it would seem things have taken a step in the right direction given his attendance at Elland Road at the weekend.
Radrizzani was linked with a Leeds takeover in the summer and watched the 3-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on the opening day of the season.
