Largie Ramazani ‘joins’ Burnley after viral Leeds title jibe | OneFootball

Largie Ramazani has left Leeds United for Burnley on deadline day, a striking twist little more than a year after his viral mock of the Clarets during Leeds’ title party.

According to Leeds Live, the 25-year-old Belgian winger has joined on a season-long loan that includes a conditional obligation to buy. If he reaches a set appearance threshold, the deal becomes permanent for £6.5m up front plus £2m in add-ons.

Ramazani had pushed for a return to Valencia after last season’s loan at Mestalla. That route closed when Valencia chose Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott on loan, and, out of favour under Daniel Farke, he now heads to the club he taunted.

The backstory dates to the 2024-25 run-in, when Leeds and Burnley finished on 100 points and Farke’s side won the Championship on goal difference, +65 to +53. During the celebrations Ramazani posted an Instagram story in a Leeds shirt, medal and shades, set to Nardo Wick’s Who Want Smoke?, overlaid with an AI generated mock-up of a Burnley Champions stand.

Sixteen months on, Leeds are in the Premier League while Ramazani reports to Nicky Hayen at Turf Moor, tasked with helping Burnley return to the top flight. If the clause is met, Leeds will collect £8.5m in total for a surplus squad member, and supporters will keep the memory of that viral clip.
