€10m Leeds United Winger Frozen By Farke Is Wanted By Spanish Club: Why Should They Get Rid Of Him Anyhow? | OneFootball

A transfer standoff involving a Leeds United winger, Largie Ramazani, is nearing its conclusion, with a return to Spain looking increasingly likely before the window closes. Valencia remain the player’s preferred and most determined suitor.

Leeds United winger’s Valencia return edges closer as Farke confirms exit

Spanish outlet Superdeporte, as relayed by Sport Witness, reports that the 25-year-old Belgian winger had a productive loan spell at Valencia’s Mestalla last season, clocking six goals and two assists. Leeds United boss Daniel Farke dropped him entirely from pre-season and publicly confirmed he has absolutely no future at Elland Road.

Valencia CEO Ron Gourlay opened contact back in June, yet talks broke down fast. Leeds United wanted a permanent sale fetching €10–12m. Valencia flatly refused, preferring a loan arrangement. Since then, both sides have sat in silence, waiting for the other to crack.

Carlos Corberán’s staff believe that patience benefits them. They want him for under €5m, possibly through a loan with an option to buy. With no serious competing offers materialising and the player openly telling club officials that Valencia are the only destination he’ll accept, Leeds’ position grows weaker by the day.

T4O Opinion: Leeds United need to accept the loss and move on

This one isn’t complicated, actually. Leeds United have backed themselves into a corner entirely of their own making. Farke’s very public dismissal of the winger, stripping him of a squad number, leaving him out of pre-season, handed Valencia the entire negotiating advantage on a plate. That brutal transparency torpedoed the player’s market value before a single rival club submitted a serious bid.

Keeping him at Elland Road now is financially absurd. He sits on the wage bill, accumulates no resale value, and grows more distant from competitive football every week. Valencia represent the only club genuinely ready to act. He scored six La Liga goals under Corberán last season, grew into a genuine contributor, and mentally he’s already gone from LS11.

Leeds United must accept €5–6m, structured however Valencia need it, and close this out. Chasing €12m from a player Farke won’t pick is fantasy accounting. Clear the wages, clear the squad logjam, and let a footballer play in a place where he is actually wanted. That’s the sensible call.
