Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has outlined his vision for the club in the next few years.
The 46-year-old media tycoon is very ambitious and wants Leeds to compete at the top end of the Premier League.
Radrizzani wants to push for a similar model that is used at Manchester City, where the English club acquires teams around Europe through an ownership model.
"I do believe that a consolidated group in football, with multiple club ownership, can be a benefit in terms of synergies and creating value in the development of the players and, in some cases, also on the commercial side," Radrizzani told Sports Pro Media.
"It's something that I'm studying and exploring. I'm already in touch with some potential target clubs to acquire. I haven't made any decisions yet.
"I'm still in an evaluation phase and I think that the model I have in mind is definitely different to what I see at the moment. It would be more focused on two or three countries in Europe where we can have close integration on the football side.
"The City [Football Group] and Red Bull models are very different; they have clubs in different continents. I don't think that's what I want to do.
"I want to do something much more integrated on the football side so there's no big gap between the level of football quality between these clubs."
