Andrea Radrizzani completes buying 50 per cent stake in Leeds United and pledges support for Garry Monk
share

Italian businessman Andrea Radrizzani has completed buying a 50 per cent stake in Leeds United – and has offered his full support to manager Garry Monk as the club aims to return to the Premier League.

Radrizzani is the co-founder of the successful media rights group MP & Silva and has been in negotiations with Leeds owner Massimo Cellino for the past few months.

The deal has been completed through Radrizzani’s company, Aser Group Holding, of which he is the founder and chairman, and it remains to be seen whether it eventually leads to a full takeover of Leeds.

Cellino is facing an 18-month suspension from all football-related activities after he was found guilty by a Football Association disciplinary panel of breaching agent regulations. Should his appeal fail he will be barred from playing any role at Elland Road until Sept 1 2018 which would suggest that Radrizzani will take over running the club.

“I am very impressed with the job Garry Monk has done this season and I will do all I can to support him and the team moving forward,” Radrizzani said.

What does this mean for Leeds going forward then?

Is he just a mate of Cellino's, just a way for him to continue having an influence if his ban is upheld?

50% ownership with a future takeover deal, Radrizanni seems to have major conections though, that's the more exciting part

but who knows with this lunatic, probably is to have a sly way of interfering during his ban

Radrizzani to take full control in the summer. This is great.

Cellino more or less has no say now when he gets banned next month, Rad is a respected guy with good experience/contacts and doesn't appear shady so it's a good day for the club.

As for financial clout it's very hard to say. He's wealthy to a degree in his own right but has links to richer personnel so we'll just have to wait and see on that.

There must be a full takeover on the cards because I can't imagine any decent businessman wanting to share a business with someone like Cellino

yeah he's gonna takeover eventually
Radrizzani has got the option of buying the other 50% in June but only if Leeds don't get promotion if we do get promoted Cellino will hold on to his shares or if he does sell it'll cost Radrizzani a damn sight more than the first 50%.

If I was Radrizzani then I'd share a business with Cellino if it meant getting my hands on the Premier League money. If Leeds get promoted Cellino won't sell his stake and lose out on all that money. Radrizzani will have to put up with him but I'm sure he won't mind with all the riches that will come with promotion.
