Largie Ramazani made his first start for Leeds United on Saturday against Cardiff City, marking the occasion with his first goal for the club. Now, more details about his contract with the Whites are starting to surface.
The Bluebirds ran into trouble when defender Joel Bagan was shown a straight red card for a last-man foul, leaving his team a man down. Leeds wasted no time capitalizing on the advantage, with Ramazani finding the back of the net in the 30th minute to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
“What a way to mark my full debut!” Ramazani wrote on his X account following the victory. “Travelling fans were great. +3 Great reaction from the team today! On a personal note happy to score my first goal for this great club!”

Before starting in the 2-0 win over Cardiff City, Ramazani had only made two appearances, coming off the bench against Hull City and Burnley. Nonetheless, with Manor Solomon injured, manager Daniel Farke had to make adjustments to his starting 11.
The 23-year-old is showing that if he’s given a more prominent role, he can deliver, so it will be interesting to see if the player gets more opportunities to start going forward.
Largie Ramazani wage details emerge
After losing Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter this past summer, Leeds reportedly paid a €11.7 million total package with add-ons included plus a 15 percent sell-on clause to AlmerÃa for Ramazani.
Now, as far as wages go, Capology has updated the salary list for Leeds’ current squad, including the earnings of new signings like Ramazani.
According to their website, the former Manchester United youth player makes £17,500 per week at Elland Road, which adds up to an annual salary of £910,000.
Furthermore, the player is 15th on the salary list, with Patrick Bamford being the top earner at Elland Road with £70,000 per week and £3,640,000 annually.
If the player can maintain the same level of performance he showed against Cardiff City last Saturday throughout the 2024-25 season, Leeds will have made a great investment—especially if it helps them secure promotion to the Premier League next season.
