Daniel Farke makes U-turn on Largie Ramazani as Leeds United plans emerge

Daniel Farke seems have made a U-turn on Largie Ramazani’s future at Leeds United.

Ramazani featured 29 times last season in the Championship, mainly from the substitutes bench, notching six goals and two assists for the Whites.

He was sent out on loan to Valencia for the current campaign, and his performances on loan in Spain are understood to have impressed Elland Road figures, per a report from Marca on 24 March.

Leeds’ attack has stalled at times this season, and the 25-year-old could be an option next season after the Yorkshire club’s plans emerged.

What is Leeds’ position on Ramazani return?

Ramazani looked to have no future at Leeds, as he was a bit-part player for Farke and was not even given a chance to impress in the Premier League when they got promoted.

However, the LS11 side and the boss seem to have changed their stance on his position in the squad after his profitable loan spell, where he has scored five times.

The report states that the Peacocks plan to give the Belgian winger a “significant role” next season and signing him would be complicated for the La Liga outfit.

What has Ramazani said on his future?

Ramazani was coy when asked about his plans for the future, he did not reveal anything and insisted that he just wants to help the Mestalla side at the moment.

Speaking to El Chiringuito earlier this month, he said: “I’m at Valencia to work, we’ll see about the future.”

The Peacocks’ boss may be shocked by the turnaround that he has enjoyed in Spain, and he may hand him a chance to shine in pre-season if he comes back to Thorp Arch with a newfound confidence and swagger.

The fact that he seems to be focused on his football is good, as that is the right approach for all parties, and it could see him get another opportunity in LS11, if he plays his cards right and has the attitude that is required.

There will be much speculation in the coming months, but the picture will only be clear after the summer transfer window or if Farke speaks out on the player.

Until then, rumours will likely circle in both directions, and only time will tell where his future lies.
