Leeds chairman Salah Nooruddin has insisted that GFH Capital remains the club's owner - as the group prepares for fresh takeover talks on Tuesday.
Italian Massimo Cellino has agreed to buy a 75% stake in the club but has yet to receive Football League approval.
Now talks are planned in London with another interested party.
The Sport Capital and Together Leeds consortiums have teamed up to buy the club, dismissing Cellino's bid and promising to match his offer.
The latest development is yet another twist in the ongoing saga surrounding the ownership of the mid-table Championship club.
It follows the reinstatement of Brian McDermott as the club's manager after the controversial Cellino, who also owns Serie A club Cagliari, attempted to sack him on Friday.
It also comes after Chris Farnell, the lawyer working for Cellino, was escorted from Elland Road on Monday by managing director David Haigh, director Salem Patel and security staff.
Nooruddin has also issued an email to Leeds United staff in an attempt to bring some clarity to the situation and informing them not to take instructions from anyone other than GFH.
