Satellite broadcaster, BSkyB, is reported to be in negotiations to acquire stakes in both Leeds and Chelsea football clubs.
Under new FA guidelines, which limit media companies to less than a 10% stake in each club if they have interests in more than one club, Sky is expected to be negotiating for 9.9% in each. BSkyB would also have to reduce its interest in Manchester United which currently stands at 11.1%.
A BSkyB spokesperson refused to comment when called by Newsline.
