The Italian TV rights mogul purchased half of the club in early January and Telegraph Sport understands an option to assume total control was dependent on Leeds not reaching the Premier League.

Leeds' 3-3 draw with Norwich on Saturday all but ended the club's hopes of a top-six finish and it is now thought that Cellino will step aside, bringing the curtain down on a turbulent period. The option must be taken before the end of June but Radrizzani already appears to be building for the future.

Last week he appointed former Real Madrid director Ivan Bravo to the board while Angus Kinnear, who has worked at Arsenal and West Ham, is also poised to join.
