Leeds owner Massimo Cellino has claimed that Red Bull have launched a bid to buy the Championship club. Cellino, who is currently serving a Football League disqualification, said that Leeds' majority shareholder Eleonora Sport was considering the offer. But Leeds chairman Andrew Umbers said he was not aware of an offer from Red Bull when contacted by BBC Radio Leeds on Saturday morning. Leeds United are the subject of a takeover bid from Red Bull, according to owner Massimo Cellino . Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post that majority shareholders Eleonora Sport were considering an offer . Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post: 'There is an offer. I didn’t know about it but I spoke just now with Giampaolo Caboni, one of the directors of Eleonora Sport. 'He said Red Bull has made an offer for the club. The shareholder will have to think about it. I don’t know what they will do.' The soft drink giant already own three clubs - RB Leipzig in Germany, Red Bull Salzburg in Austria and MLS side New York Red Bulls - as well as two teams in Formula One. After being linked with a bid in November, Red Bull issued a statement saying: 'Red Bull has no plans to take over Leeds Utd nor take a stake in the club.' Cellino was disqualified from running the club in December after an Italian court found him guilty of tax evasion and his ban ends on May 4. The soft drink giants own three football clubs, one of them in Austria (pictured) called Red Bull Salzburg . New York Red Bulls from America's MLS take on Arsenal in a pre-season friendly last summer . Formula One teams Red Bull and Toro Rosso are also owned by the soft drinks company .
