The 45-year-old has splashed out over £300m on signing Neymar and Kylian Mbappe alone, since taking over at the Parc des Princes in 2011.

However, with the French champions struggling for form in Europe, the owners are reportedly interested working with an English club in a new venture.

Earlier in the year, Al-Khelaifi opened talks over buying a stake with the Yorkshire-based outfit, but Nottingham Forest could also be another option.

However, the Qatari mogul is now ready to meet Radrizzani along with manager Marcelo Bielsa in Doha, with a view of discussing a possible sale of the club.

Leeds owners are reportedly holding discussions with six other potential suitors over a deal.

Interestingly, PSG billionaire owners are keen on stepping into English football with the view of using PSG's successful set up as a platform to loan players.

Current Leeds owner Radrizzani assumed full control from Massimo Cellino in May 2017 despite partaking with the club’s activities since the start of the year.
