Now, with the Premier League once again the target, Radrizzani is considering offers for a stake in the club.

Speaking to the Times, he confirmed that Qatari Sports Investment (QSI) are one of the potential investors.

Run by PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi, investment from QSI could see Leeds compete at the very top of English football again.

“The option of Qatar Sports Investment and Nasser — first of all they are friends, we have had a good relationship for a long time,” Radrizzani explained.

“Secondly, they have the possibility to bring this club to compete with Manchester City, so for the fans that could be a fantastic opportunity.”

There are also two more offers on the table.

“The second is based in America, he’s a big fan of Leeds United since he was a child, and I like that.

“Another one is the owner of an Italian club. With another club you can create synergy to be more competitive and to target the Premier League.

“We could maybe get a loan to increase the quality of the team.”

Whatever happens, Radrizzani insists he will be involved in the future of Leeds United.

“The most important thing for me is to make this club big again,” he insisted.

“When I will open the door to others I don’t know, hopefully when we are in the Premier League. The financial support would be more important in the Premier League.

“When it will be done, it doesn’t matter which share [I have], it matters that I can continue my project and also have the support to build this club back again.”
