Time is of the essence, Andrea Radrizzani has warned, after his initial offer to buy Sampdoria was rejected today. Less than 24 hours after Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League, which Radrizzani was absent from, the Italian’s quest to buy a new club has hit a stumbling block.
Radrizzani has partnered with Matteo Manfredi to take over the relegated outfit set to play in Italy's second tier next season. However, despite promises of capital being ready to move along with the substantial backing of Qatar Sports Investments, current Samp chief Massimo Ferrero has knocked back this initial attempt.
While Leeds remain silent on Radrizzani's position, it is unclear exactly what this Sampdoria quest means for the Whites directly.
