Nasser Al Khelaifi has previously been described as the most powerful man in French football
The Qatari businessman, 45, bought the French club in 2011 and quickly became notorious for huge investment – spending £300m on Neymar and Kylian Mbappe alone.
And according to L’Equipe, he is keen to venture out into English football due to PSG’s continued woes in Europe.
The respected French publication reports that Al-Khelaifi has been in talks with Leeds for ‘months’, with Nottingham Forest also on his radar.

Radrizzani spent heavily last summer in a bid to secure Premier League promotion, but Leeds fell short, losing to Derby in the play-off semi-finals.

Leeds are believed to be in talks with several potential investors, including QSI.
Meanwhile, Radrizzani has managed to persuade Bielsa to stay at Elland Road for another season, despite suggestions he would leave.
The Argentine boss is understood to be earning £3.4million per year – treble that of the next highest-paid Championship manager – with a contract running until 2020.
