A lot of Leeds United fans have flocked to a post from TEAMtalk’s James Marshment which includes quotes from Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani about potential investment from QSI.
Speaking to Gianluca Di Marzio, Radrizzani said that he has a ‘great relationship on a personal level’ with Nasser Al-Khelaifi and that ‘there’s a desire to do something together’, before he concluded that they would ‘evaluate this when we are in [the Premier League]’.
These quotes from Radrizzani have had a mixed reaction from many Whites fans – with some sceptical.
Radrizzani admits for first time that deal could be struck with QSI to buy into Leeds.
"What is true is that we [PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi] have a great relationship on a personal level.
"There's a desire to do something together.
"We'll evaluate this when we are in PL"— James Marshment (@marshyleeds) April 2, 2020
I am always an optimist James but honestly if the deal was about to happen we wouldn’t hear about it until it actually happened. I just think it’s a little bit of PR teasing

Nah, that’s never gunna happen. That’s not Leeds. Wots guna hapn is we’ll get promoted wen season re-starts in a yrs time, QSI will come on board & then the resulting economic collapse will wipe away all QSI’s wealth leaving us penniless again. Now that’s more like Leeds. #LUFC

Other Leeds supporters, though, are hopeful of investment from QSI.

What do we think?
QSI are the current owners of PSG, and Radrizzani told The Times in October that he was in talks with QSI about them investing in Leeds.
Do you trust these quotes from Radrizzani?
Yes
No
Since then, nothing has happened, but these latest quotes from the Whites owner suggest that both sides are keen to do a deal.
However, with the future of the football season up in the air at the moment, it is unclear when or even if QSI will invest.
