Valencia submit multi-million Largie Ramazani bid as Leeds exit terms revealed
Valencia have made a loan-to-buy bid to re-sign Largie Ramazani from Leeds United.
Ramazani, 25, spent last season on loan at the La Liga club, playing 31 times in all competitions and scoring six goals.
Since returning to Leeds in the summer, he's failed to make either of Daniel Farke's matchday squads for the first two games of the new season.
Ex-Leeds coach Carlos Corberan has been intent on bringing Ramazani back to the Mestalla, with Valencia's latest offer being a lot closer to matching the Yorkshire club's demands for the attacker.
Spanish journalist Nacho Sanchis has reported via his X account that Valencia's new offer is an initial loan but includes an obligation-to-buy clause for next summer.
And the money involved could be enough to sway Leeds into accepting the deal.
The financial figures behind Largie Ramazani's potential Valencia return
Leeds signed Ramazani from Almeria for around £10million in August 2024.
Although he helped the Yorkshire giants win promotion from the Championship in his debut season at the club, he only started seven times in the league
The former Manchester United winger then went to Valencia last season after Leeds' promotion, and did well enough to convince them to sign him again this summer.
According to A Punt Esports journalist Sanchis, Valencia's loan-to-buy includes a clause that will see him complete a mandatory £3.4m permanent move next year, but no money is being offered up-front.
It is understood that Leeds didn't want a straight loan deal for the Belgian winger and talks are continuing.
Does the offer match Leeds' demands?
Sanchis has previously reported that Leeds' want £3.4m for Ramazani, plus a sell-on percentage for any future sale.
Other than the sell-on clause, this means Valencia's offer matches Leeds' demands for the 28-year-old left-winger.
It's an offer the Whites probably should - and will - accept.
Yes, they'll be making a big loss on Ramazani, but they definitely overpaid for him two years ago and at least he's retained some transfer value.
Valencia are the only club offering up any sort of money for the Belgian, so it's best to accept this than wait another year when his value might be even less as he'll be in the final year of his contract then.
