Leeds United confirm takeover agreement with 49ers Enterprises
Leeds United have confirmed an agreement has been reached between Andrea Radrizzani’s Aser Ventures and 49ers Enterprises for the purchase of the club.
The investment arm of the NFL franchise, San Francisco 49ers, have been a shareholder in the West Yorkshire outfit since an initial investment in 2018.
Over the last few years, their stake increased to 44%, while Aser Ventures owned the remaining majority.
Leeds have confirmed that a complete purchase has now been agreed.
"Both parties continue to work through the details, and further updates will be provided soon," the club said in a statement.
"All of our focus remains on a quick return to the Premier League."
Several reports claim a valuation of Leeds has been agreed at around £170 million.
It should be noted, Aser Ventures recently bought a stake in Italian club Sampdoria.
