Leeds owner Radrizzani makes offer for Sampdoria

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has made an offer for Sampdoria.

Radrizzani has made his move after Samp's relegation was confirmed last week.

"We are ready to proceed and close the deal," Raadrizzani's partner Matteo Manfredi told Il Secolo XIX.

“We reached an agreement with the banks yesterday for the integral payment of all their credit. Along with this, we are ready to invest €55m straight away to save and relaunch the club, plus another €20m that are available.

“There are also a series of institutional investors who are examining the dossier, who are interested in joining us and we are in close contact with them.

“On Wednesday we came to Genoa and spoke to Mayor Bucci, because our project plans for the renovation and, why not, the purchase of the Stadio Ferraris.

“We are already in contact with 777 Partners, who own Genoa. Sampdoria is not a recent interest for us, we've been tracking them since 2018. Obviously, we know the football world, as Radrizzani already owns Leeds in the Premier League. We worked hard and we are ready."
