Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani in talks to buy Serie A club Sampdoria

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is reportedly in discussions to acquire Serie A club Sampdoria.

According to Sky Italia, the potential deal aims to save the Italian outfit from bankruptcy.

Radrizzani arrived at the Bogliasco Sports Centre with Matteo Manfredi earlier today, signalling his keen interest in salvaging the club’s dire financial situation.

He also has the support of Jordan Rocca, a devoted Sampdoria fan. He is a young entrepreneur hailing from Genoa but residing in London. 

The trio have been working diligently to secure agreements with creditor banks. They want to devise a comprehensive plan for the sporting and financial recovery of the club.

Entrepreneur Alessandro Barnaba has already presented an offer that remains on the table, but it is unclear where he stands in the race to acquire the Blucerchiati.

Radrizzani and Manfredi engaged in an hour-long meeting, further fuelling speculation of an imminent bid from the Leeds owner. 

He reportedly plans to visit the club’s current home stadium, Luigi Ferraris, later today.


The potential acquisition of Sampdoria by Radrizzani, a well-respected figure in the football industry, holds promising prospects for the troubled club. 

Radrizzani was born in Italy and made his money through digital sports content. He became a more popular figure in sports after taking over Leeds.

His involvement offers a glimmer of hope to Sampdoria supporters disheartened by their recent relegation and financial struggles.

Sampdoria fans will eagerly await further developments. They hope Radrizzani’s involvement will provide the impetus to reinvigorate the club and usher in a new era of success. 

The fate of Sampdoria hangs in the balance. The upcoming negotiations could be the turning point in their battle against financial adversity and stagnation in the second tier.
