Paraag Marathe coy on San Francisco 49ers' Leeds United buyout clause and Elland Road expansion

Leeds United vice-chairman Paraag Marathe is remaining coy regarding a potential buyout clause at Elland Road. Marathe, who is also president of 49ers Enterprises, now own a 44 per cent stake in the Whites. The investment arm of NFL side the San Francisco 49ers also has the option to purchase a majority stake from Leeds owner and chairman - Andrea Radrizzani - in 2024.

Speaking to BBC sports editor Dan Roan on The Sports Desk podcast, Marathe said: "I sort of just take it one day at a time. I'm really enjoying the ride and the biggest thing on my mind is Crystal Palace. I can't really think past that to be honest with you.

"I'm very much enjoying the ride. I'm very much enjoying everything about it and I do think there's so much more we can do, whether it be with the stadium, whether it be with on the pitch or generally just growing the organisation. But, right now, I'm just focussed on Palace and we'll see what happens next week."
