Andrea Radrizzani facing 'race against time' with Sampdoria as Leeds United takeover speeds up

Leeds United's Andrea Radrizzani is facing a race against time to register his new club Sampdoria in Serie B next season according to reports in Italy. The current Whites owner, who has agreed a takeover deal with 49ers Enterprises to relinquish his shares in the club, is hoping to save the Serie B side from bankruptcy.

Tuttosport claim the future of the Italian club hands in the balance, despite Radrizzani being given the green light to take over. The newspaper claims the plans to save the club from financial despair have not yet been signed off.

Radrizzani has proposed debt restructuring at La Samp, that would see their debt fall from €150 million to a fee in the region of €80-90 million according to the report. Il Doria are not yet registered in Serie B for next season and documentation must be submitted by June 20th.
