The Athletic's Phil Hay has assessed the recent developments surrounding a potential takeover of Leeds United by Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), which has drawn a mixed reaction from fans of the club.

Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani reportedly accompanied QSI chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi to PSG's 1-0 win over Bruges yesterday as part of a trip to hold further discussions about investment.

The Italian businessman confirmed in October that QSI were a party interested in investing but quashed talk of a takeover later that month.

Yesterday, L'Equipe reported that talks between the two parties had been ongoing for months.

Writing for The Athletic, Hay assessed recent developments surrounding a potential takeover, revealing that "QSI has not carried out any due diligence and is yet to request access to detailed financial information about Leeds".

He suggested that due to profitability and sustainability guidelines, any investment is unlikely to mean more spending for the Yorkshire club in January.

Hay concluded that the two parties had discussed investment, that QSI had the finances to make a deal viable but that at this point it is unclear exactly where things are headed.

This latest's assessment of the situation appears to have drawn a mixed reaction from fans of the Whites, with some suggesting it will go ahead and others dismissing the reports.
