Former Real Madrid executive Ivan Bravo is being linked with Leeds United.
He leads Qatar's prestigious national sports Aspire Academy.
AS says media and industry insiders had recently reported that the Spaniard could possibly be moving to English football as CEO of storied club Leeds United.
The close ties between Bravo and Leeds United's new co-owner Andrea Radrizzani suggest that both the former Real Madrid director and Aspire might collaborate with the Elland Road club as it prepares for a new phase of growth.
Bravo previously worked as head of strategy at Real Madrid, with responsibility for the Spanish giant's objectives from both a business and sporting perspective. He joined the Aspire Academy in Qatar in 2011
