Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino: 'Six potential buyers have been in touch'

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has revealed that six potential buyers have expressed an interest in the club.

The Italian pulled out of negotiations to offload the Championship outfit to supporters group Leeds Fans United this month, but is said to be open to other offers.

Cellini told Sky Sports News that one of the interested parties is a local businessman who has attempted to buy Leeds before.

Entrepreneur and capitalist Steve Parkin, who launched a takeover bid for the club in 2013, is rumoured to be among the potential buyers.

Cellino is in the process of fighting a Football League ban connected to an ongoing tax dispute in his homeland.
