49ers Enterprises President Paraag Marathe is "currently in negotiations" with EPL club Leeds Owner Andrea Radrizzani over "increasing the American Football franchise's stake in the club," which is now around 10%. While Marathe "acknowledges that the 49ers want more of a say in how things are done at Elland Road, he is adamant this remains a partnership alongside Radrizzani, not a takeover." Marathe sits on the board at Leeds and serves as 49ers Exec VP/Football Operations, while heading up the investment arm (London TELEGRAPH, 10/22).
