Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is in talks with the 49ers Enterprises over the sale of the club.
He purchased the club in October 2017 and now the American group, who already own 44% of the club, want to buy the rest of it in a deal that could prove to be worth £500m ($619,335). Negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage after the 48-year-old flew to the US late last week to finalise a revised deal.
The American group, which owns NFL side the San Francisco 49ers, wants to acquire the remaining 56% stake from the Italian, but not at the price they had previously agreed. This is because that fee was discussed on the condition that the Whites avoided relegation from the Premier League.
