Leeds United‘s Largie Ramazani will return to Elland Road, after a season-long loan spell at Valencia.
The winger managed six goals and two assists from 31 matches and the majority of them came at the start of this year.
His performances led to suggestions of the La Liga side wanting to retain the Leeds United man.
As there was no purchase clause, Los Ches have to agree fresh terms with Daniel Farke’s side.
On Wednesday, Sport Witness covered multiple claims from Spain of Valencia CEO Ron Gourlay’s upcoming meeting with the Whites for Ramazani.
Leeds United meeting key
Thursday’s edition of AS looks at pros and cons of a fresh deal for the 25-year-old. They also explain why Ron Gourlay’s meeting with Leeds United is key.
Largie Ramazani had a difficult start to his loan spell at Valencia, partly due to an injury. His league start was in February and he then became a game changer, before losing his place in the playing XI in May.
His attitude and behaviour last month reportedly didn’t please his teammates, Carlos Corberán and his coaching staff.
Despite these cons, the Spanish club are open to signing him again this summer. Los Ches CEO is ‘aware that wingers like Ramazani are rare, even though the Belgian has a mixed bag of qualities.’
AS state Gourlays ‘final verdict’ on the attacker’s future will be made once he finds out the Whites’ demand.
The Premier League side are clear that he has no future at Elland Road. Therefore, they could offload him permanently and their request would be key to determine whether he will continue at Valencia.
Our take: Playing safe with Leeds United man
Largie Ramazani is a market opportunity for Valencia but not a priority. It feels like Los Ches are playing it safe, in the event a deal is no longer possible.
Valencia may be using the leaks of his questionable attitude in May as a tactic to bring the price down.
Los Ches can always use this as an excuse if they refuse to meet Leeds United’s price. In recent years, the Spanish club had to carefully manage their finances due to economic challenges.
