Football website Last Word On Football claims an insider has informed them that the 49ers Enterprises takeover of Leeds United could be “done by Friday” as fans wait eagerly for news on the state of their club after relegation.

Andrea Radrizzani has now been confirmed as buying Italian side Sampdoria, avoiding a points deduction with an agreement for the relegated Serie A side. It is clearly a sign that Radrizzani has set up an escape route from Leeds.

Fans are hopeful that Radrizzani’s pursuit and subsequent purchase of Sampdoria is a sign that he is open to doing an agreement with the 49ers. There were concerns that Radrizzani may stay put, and hope for an instant return.

Indeed, selling the club at Premier League price would be a whole lot cash in the Italian’s pocket – but, that is of course a risk in case Leeds do not gain promotion come May 2024. It seems as if Radrizzani is open to our sale.

The report states that less than 24 hours since confirmation of Radrizzani’s purchase of Sampdoria, he could be set to sell Leeds a few days later. The source has told LWOS that a deal could go through even this week, “by Friday”.

“Last Word on Football understands from a reliable source that 49ers Enterprises’ takeover of the club ‘should be done by Friday’. Our source is believed to be a club insider and revealed the news of Jesse Marsch’s sacking.”

Fingers crossed, the source is accurate. It seems unlikely that such could happen so quickly, given the enormity of and scale of the sale. But if talks, as some reports suggest, have been going on for some weeks – it is a possibility.

Hopefully, for Leeds fans and indeed the club’s summer planning, the need for a takeover to go through quickly is paramount. The club have a massive summer ahead and getting a takeover done quickly can allow us to press on.
