Valencia ‘to work on’ permanent Largie Ramazani deal after chief’s Spain trip | OneFootball

Valencia’s push to sign Leeds United winger Largie Ramazani permanently has stepped up, with Tribuna Deportiva reporting that senior figure Ron Gourlay has travelled to Spain to work on a deal.

The focus has shifted from monitoring a productive loan to attempting to secure his long-term future, despite suggestions Leeds would prefer to keep him.

Ramazani’s first year at Elland Road never fully ignited, injuries blunting momentum during the promotion campaign. Competition then intensified after the arrivals of Noah Okafor and Lukas Nmecha, making a loan a pragmatic solution.

His start at Mestalla was also stuttering, a quadricep injury interrupting progress after limited early minutes. Once fully fit, he became far more influential across the second half of the season.

He scored five goals in a key spell, lifting his stock and complicating any exit from Leeds. There is hope in Valencia that he stays beyond the loan, while Leeds appear increasingly reluctant to lose him.

That backdrop underlines the significance of Gourlay’s involvement, pointing to Valencia putting meaningful effort into trying to keep Ramazani at Mestalla beyond this season.
