Massimo Cellino willing to sell Leeds United to supporters' group

Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has revealed that he is willing to sell the Championship club to supporters' group Leeds Fans United.

The Italian businessman is considering his future at the club after he was disqualified by the Football League last week.

The ban, which came into force after he failed the League's owners' and directors' test, is in relation to a tax dispute in Sardinia.

In a new development on Friday, Cellino confirmed that he is considering selling his majority stake to the supporters' group.

The Italian told BBC Radio Leeds: "100% I will sell to the fans, if they want to buy it and look after the club. The fans are the only asset the club has."

It has been reported that Cellino, who is appealing against the ban, has already agreed in principle to sell to Leeds Fans United.
