New Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino is confident selling Cagliari to businessman Tommaso Giulini.
Cellino says he'll sell the club to Giulini ahead of the American group headed by Luca Silvestrone.
"I've reached an agreement with Giulini for the sale of Cagliari," Cellino told Sky Sport. "The Americans were stalling and wanted another 90 days' worth of time.
"I've accepted to sell to Giulini and the operation should be finalised very soon. I wish them every success. Now my heart is in Leeds."
