Red Bull close to buying Leeds United?

By , Reporter
Sports drink company Red Bull are close to purchasing Championship club Leeds United, according to reports.

Red Bull are in advanced talks to purchase troubled Leeds United, according to reports.

The sports drinks company could pay £60m to buy the Championship club from current owner Massimo Cellino, who is currently suspended following a tax evasion conviction.

Red Bull already own German team Red Bull Leipzig and Austrian outfit Red Bull Salzburg, and The Mirror claims that they are looking into UEFA rules regarding ownership of a third club.

It is thought that Red Bull would be willing to sell one of the clubs to facilitate the purchase of the Whites.

Red Bull have reportedly been interested in purchasing Leeds United since last year.
