Andrea Radrizzani has enjoyed some more good news business wise today as his Eleven Sports company continues to excel.
The Italian has done well of late in getting new business deals done – and that should be a positive sign for us.
Obviously, he’s struck something with the 49ers group whilst his sports company continues to win TV rights across Europe.
Evidently, they are expanding and we as a club will obviously hope to profit from that somewhat.
Here’s the announcement, and the reaction from fans in response to that:
✍️ ELEVEN SPORTS has secured LIVE and EXCLUSIVE rights to all matches of the @ChampionsLeague and @LaLiga Santander in Portugal for three years until the end of the 2020/21 season

Well done Radz, give us a clue if Heckaday is going. Like this tweet if he is and we will keep it between us

Hey Andrea. Be beautiful irony if Sky broadcast Leeds getting promoted, and the club is owned by a big media rival.Hope summer plans go well.

Please make Leeds United great again. On and off the field.

The Verdict
We can’t obviously expect him to plough all his money in our club but this does suggest financially he is increasing his might.
He’s made a lot of good moves of late off of the field and I can only hope this reflects onto the transfer market with some exciting signings.
