da premier bet： Whether or not Andrea Radrizzani will sell a slice of his stake at Leeds has been a topic doing the rounds for what feels like an eternity.
The Italian businessman hit back in February, suggesting that the idea of a total sale was nonsense.
However, the fact he could be open to more investment further down the line hasn’t been ruled out and that’s clear for all to see judging by his latest comments.
Whether or not you’re a fan of the Qatar Sports Investment who own European heavyweights PSG, it’s hard to deny their funding couldn’t help take Leeds further up the pyramid in England.
Their financial might has been colossal in the French capital, helping them to buy players like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
They’ve won multiple titles in what has been one of the greatest periods in their history, and it’s all primarily come as a result of QSI’s funding.

Supporters seem divided on what the future would hold if they arrived in west Yorkshire in a story lingering around Elland Road since June.
L’Equipe initially reported that discussions could take place between Nesser al-Khelaifi and the Leeds board but nothing seemed to materialise.
However, the potential of mass investment further down the line could soon become a reality. Telling The Times, Radrizzani said the following about future buyers:
“The option of Qatar Sports Investment and Nasser — first of all they are friends, we have had a good relationship for a long time. Secondly, they have the possibility to bring this club to compete with Manchester City, so for the fans that could be a fantastic opportunity.”
The fact Leeds could be on par with a club like Manchester City is quite the statement but it’s hard to deny just what added financial firepower can bring to a club.
After all, the way PSG’s revenue has spiralled in a positive fashion is quite frankly breathtaking.
Before QSI took over, their total revenue from the 2010/11 season stood at €101m (£88.7m at the time of writing). Once they’d been in control for a season, that went up to €221m (£194.2m).
But the biggest sign of just how far PSG have come under their Qatari owners is the €542m (£476.3m) they brought in from the 2017/18 season.
Considering that number, is it really any surprise the Ligue 1 side have done so well? Probably not.
It’s investment and revenue that shows just how Leeds could place themselves back on the map, competing among the big boys of English football again.
The club have been stuck in the doldrums of Championship football for a while and not since 2000/01 have they been in the Champions League.
Investment has been made from Radrizzani but added help from a company as rich as QSI could finally be the catalyst they need to get back into the Premier League and consequently compete for European places as well.
It’s a long way off, but it’s not beyond the realms of fantasy. Just look at how Wolves have now placed themselves in the Europa League.
