Leeds director Mencucci: Why Salernitana blew Radrizzani chance

Leeds United director Sandro Mencucci says chairman Andrea Radrizzani has pulled back from plans to buy an Italian club.

Mencucci was speaking with FirenzeViola.it about speculation Radrizzani was looking at Pescara, Grosseto or Serie A Salernitana.

"[Are] We interested? No, not anymore, things must be done in due time," he said of Radrizzani's interest in Salernitana.

The Italian revealed this month that the Serie A side were at the forefront of his plans this summer, but that he never received a response to his proposal to buy the club.

"In July we would have had time to save her [Salernitana], in January you can't work miracles and who takes the responsibility of bringing her to Serie B?"

In recent days, both Pescara and Grosseto have been named as clubs of potential interest to Radrizzani, but Mencucci denies the rumours.

"That's not true. Every day we are approached by a company in different difficulty, Pescara first, Grosseto now. But even if Radrizzani was interested in a sporting entity, he does not take one at random," he said.
