Leeds United owner Radrizzani buys debt-ridden and newly-relegated Sampdoria
June 1 – Leeds chairman, Andrea Radrizzani, is cornering the market in ownership of relegated clubs. The majority owner of Leeds United, who lost their Premier League status last weekend, has agreed a takeover of Sampdoria, who will be relegated from Italy’s top tier following the final round of fixtures this weekend.
In March a Genoa court gave Sampdoria’s owner Massimo Ferrero, four months of protection from creditors to sell the club.
Ferrero completed a takeover of the Serie A club in June 2014 for around €15 million which included assuming the club’s debt.
