The Leeds United president Andrea Radrizzani has been spotted with PSG‘s president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the chairman of Qatari Sporting Investments at the World Cup in Qatar.

QSI have long been linked with a move to buy shares with the Whites, as reported by the Daily Star in 2019.

They claimed QSI were set to pay £10 million for a stake in Leeds at some point. That never materialised but the Leeds president’s relationship with Al-Khelaifi remains strong.

In May 2020, the Italian businessman spoke to Italian outlet, Gianluca Di Marzio, where he said there was a possibility of QSI and himself going into business together:

“These are rumours that have been ongoing for more than a year now. What is true is that we have a great relationship on a personal level.

“There’s a desire to do something together maybe even in football but there’s nothing concrete at this time.”

Radrizzani took to Twitter and posted a video of some fans fans at the World Cup:

The Italian was in esteemed company as he was spotted sat alongside the likes of Edin Dzeko, Miralem Pjanic, and Al-Khelaifi at the Al-Bayt stadium, as shared by Benjamin Quarez on Twitter:

In what year was Andrea Radrizzani born?

Perhaps just an invite, perhaps something more?

Radrizzani is known for going on various business ventures, but I wouldn’t expect this to be that this time. It is more than likely a meeting between two friends who wish to watch some World Cup live action.

The rumours won’t go away in the meantime, though.

Would you be happy for Radrizzani to sell?

Yes

Yes

No

No
