Leeds United and Valencia are negotiating a loan deal for winger Largie Ramazani.
Sources at Elland Road have described a temporary switch for the Belgian as ‘likely’.
The 24-year-old was omitted from yesterday’s squad at Arsenal and is evidently some way down head coach Daniel Farke’s pecking order for the campaign ahead. Daniel James, Wilfried Gnonto, Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison and new signing Noah Okafor were all preferred to Ramazani on Saturday.
Earlier this week, Farke admitted he was keen on another two additions in offensive positions, which would put further strain on Ramazani’s chances of game time in 2025-26. The winger has consistently struggled to force his way into Farke’s plans since an ankle injury derailed a run of three goals and one assist in six matches last autumn.
Between October 23 last year and the end of the campaign, Ramazani started just once in the Championship. After four seasons of regular football with Almeria across Spain’s top two divisions, Valencia want to bring him back to La Liga.
Valencia, now led by former Leeds coach Carlos Corberan, have consistently finished around mid-table in Spain’s top flight over the past six seasons. They will hope they can provide the Belgian with the game time he wants.
There are three years still to run on the contract Ramazani signed when he arrived at Elland Road last summer.
