The San Francisco 49ers are set to take over full ownership of English football club, Leeds United, with the current majority shareholder, Andrea Radrizzani, selling his final 56% stake to 49ers Enterprises.

Leeds finished 19th in the Premier League, resulting in a drop in valuation, making it a cheaper acquisition for the 49ers. The move is seen as a bet on the 49ers' part to draw American fans towards European soccer and increase interest in the sport in the long term.
