Andrea Radrizzani has confirmed his takeover of Leeds will be completed within the next 10 days
The Leeds co-owner, who currently has a 50 per cent stake in the club, is expected to purchase Massimo Cellino's half to secure full ownership at Elland Road.
Radrizzani has reportedly been in talks all week with Cellino and he told Sardinian newspaper Corriere della Sera the deal will be done within the next 10 days.
“Within 10 days, at most two weeks, Leeds will be 100 per cent (mine)."

“Within 10 days, at most two weeks, Leeds will be 100 per cent (mine)," Radrizzani said.
Leeds have endured a difficult three years under the controversial Cellino, but Radrizzani's takeover will mark the dawn of a new era as the Whites look to secure a long-awaited return to the Premier League.
The Yorkshire club came close to giving themselves a chance of securing a return to the top flight this season, but just missed out on the Championship play-offs - finishing seventh under the management of Garry Monk.

The report adds Cellino is in line to purchase Serie B club Brescia.
