49ers Enterprises to take full control of Leeds United in takeover deal.

Leeds United is set for a takeover by 49ers Enterprises after an agreement was reached with Andrea Radrizzani to sell his majority stake in the club. The formal completion of the takeover is expected to take a few weeks while legalities are handled and the group seeks EFL approval of the deal. The completion of the takeover would result in an increased close-season budget as part of the US group’s plan to inject funds into the club and avoid more than 12 months outside the Premier League.
