Leeds United will have to make a lot of decisions at the end of this season. After surviving relegation, things are set to change heading into next season.
The club already have some issues on the table when it gets to first team contracts.
Karl Darlow is out of contract next month, and the keeper could leave. However, after the season he had, most fans would be disappointed if the club decide to let him go. Especially with Lucas Perri now the number one option.
Ethan Ampadu and Pascal Struijk are entering the final year of their contracts. Both players have had very impressive seasons and are attracting suitors ahead of the summer transfer window.
Daniel Farke is also up for an extension, with the news surrounding this dominating the headlines over the past few weeks.
Leeds United deal on hold after issues emerge
Leeds United will have some cash to spend, especially with the prize money from finishing in 14th place. The club could also make some extra funds available by moving players off the books.
Last summer, the team decided to let multiple players leave on loan. And almost all of them are set to return ahead of next season. The club will have to decide on what to do with them.
Largie Ramazani is one of these players; he had a solid second half of the season with Valencia, scoring six goals to end the season. Per reports, the La Liga side were keen on a deal for the winger.
AS reported that Leeds and Valencia held talks over a move. But now, the potential deal could be in jeopardy.
Per AS, the winger’s attitude has seen the Spanish side put things on hold. According to the report, when Ramazani was benched against Atletico Madrid in the final weeks of the season, his attitude was a problem.
It bothered the players and coaches on the bench. Ramazani also reportedly ignored tactical instructions and strolled during the game.

Unfortunate for the Whites
The Leeds United man was benched in the final four games of the season due to what happened in the Atletico game.
He also drew the anger of fans, when he posted himself golfing days after the game.
Per the report, Valencia have put a potential deal for the winger on the shelf. However, they could re-visit it as the window goes on.
With how he left Elland Road in the early part of the season, there is no indication that the Whites have him in their plans for next season.
