Massimo Cellino could take ownership of 100 per cent of Leeds United rather than 75 per cent.
The Italian businessman has already agreed to purchase 75 per cent of the club from Middle Eastern investment group GFH Capital and is awaiting the final green light from the Football League to push the deal over the line.

Cellino would not own 100 per cent of the shares directly, but according to Isola24Sport.it, through his Eleonora Sports Limited vehicle.
Indeed, current Leeds managing director David Haigh may become involved with Eleonora, allowing Cellino's company to take 100 per cent ownership of the Yorkshire giants.
