MOT View: Exciting report details what QSI can bring to Leeds as well as cold, hard cash
All of the pieces of the QSI puzzle seem to be falling into place at Leeds United.
Andrea Radrizzani has fuelled the fire himself, revealing the club were in talks with QSI last year, admitting that QSI money could propel Leeds into the same spending bracket as Man City and stating that he and the QSI chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi have an “excellent” relationship and a “desire” to do something together.
A deal would obviously give Leeds access to cold, hard cash – and a lot of it, depending on the level of investment that Radrizzani wants to take on.
But a QSI link-up would have another big advantage over fresh investment from the San Francisco 49ers, who already own a stake at Leeds.
Al-Khelaifi is also the owner of PSG and a report from 90min.com highlighted that investment in Leeds could forge a close link between the two clubs.
The report said that PSG could loan highly-rated youngsters Adil Aouchiche and Tanguy Kouassi to Leeds next season – both are current first-team players.
And that could be the start of players moving from the Ligue 1 club to help Leeds get into the same bracket as the French giants.
Radrizzani’s plan is to turn Leeds into a major player in the Premier League and in Europe. That will cost a lot of money.
QSI investment can obviously help there but a source of talented players, available on loan, would be massive for Leeds.
It would work for PSG roo, who would benefit from their players getting Premier League experience and the chance to develop under Marcelo Bielsa.
And it would work for Leeds and could act as a stepping stone to getting the club back in the Champions League.
