Leeds United have hit the 40-point mark in the Premier League and, while they’re not mathematically safe yet, it would take a serious collapse for them to be dragged back into the relegation fight.
With survival almost in the bag, focus is already starting to shift towards the summer, when the club is expected to be more active in the transfer market.
Midfield reinforcements are a clear priority, with Leeds eyeing several targets, including Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney and Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. They’re also exploring several attacking options ahead of the window.
At the same time, the club needs to make decisions on a few players already in the squad, and Largie Ramazani is one of those whose future at Elland Road remains uncertain.
Leeds set asking price for Largie Ramazani
Largie Ramazani joined Valencia on loan from Leeds last summer, and Daniel Farke made it clear that the decision to return to Spain was the player’s will.
He has hit form in the second half of the season, and while the winger has remained coy on his future, there is a certainty about his willingness to continue at Los Che.
Valencia boss Carlos Corberan is also keen to keep the Belgian at the Mestalla, and the club are ready to open negotiations with Leeds over a permanent deal.
Leeds have decided to sell him, and according to Radio Marca Valencia, the Whites are ready to accept somewhere around £10m from his sale.
The Whites want to recoup the fee they paid for Ramazani in 2024, and believe his performances in Spain warrant that figure.
However, Leeds are also open to negotiations and could accept a lower figure in order to move the winger on in the summer transfer window.
Leeds’ decision makes sense
Daniel Farke made it clear that Ramazani was the one pushing for a move back to Spain last summer, although it was equally evident that the manager wasn’t particularly eager to keep him around.
Leeds allowed him to leave on loan without including a buy option, ensuring they retained control over his future with the possibility of cashing in later.
Their gamble has paid off as his recent form has pushed Valencia to consider signing him on a permanent deal.
As things stand, it’s difficult to see where Ramazani fits naturally at Leeds, even if he comes back, especially with the current 5-3-2 system in place.
Leeds are also expected to move on several wide players after they’ve struggled for minutes this season, which only adds another layer of uncertainty to Ramazani’s long-term future at the club.
