Nasser Al-Khelaifi, President of PSG, is closing in on Leeds United
Although rumours of this this meeting in the Qatari capital city have been quashed, leading French journalist Julien Laurens told talkSPORT a deal is actually tantalisingly close.
“The owners of PSG, the Qatar Royal Family, are very keen on buying Leeds,” Laurens revealed to Jim White on talkSPORT.
“They know the owner there very well, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is the PSG chairman and who is very close to the Qatar Royal Family and he is very good friends with Radrizzani [the Leeds owner].
“Just to explain it quickly, there is obviously big competition between the Qatar Royal Family and the Abu Dhabi Royal Family, who own Manchester City.

“And in Qatar, they are thinking ‘well, we should be the same really’ to expand the brand and get a few clubs.
“And Leeds would very much be part of that.
“I think they have been in interested in the English market for a long time – they also looked at AS Roma – but it looks like Leeds ticks a lot of the boxes for them.
