Why Leeds United are now left with no option after Largie Ramazani transfer latest
Leeds United are yet to find a solution for Largie Ramazani this transfer window.
Six-time Spanish league champions Valencia have been heavily linked with the Belgian winger, but the Whites have been adamant about their demands to sanction a deal.
The West Yorkshire outfit are looking for the 25-year-old attacker's permanent exit after a decent loan spell at the Mestalla.
With Ramazani still on Leeds' books close to deadline day, the Elland Road hierarchy have undoubtedly left themselves in a tough spot.
The winger didn't feature during pre-season and isn't a part of Daniel Farke's plans for the new season.
As things stand, the West Yorkshire outfit either need to come to a compromise or continue to pay the forward's wages beyond the transfer window.
What could now happen with Largie Ramazani transfer at Leeds United
Valencia have been pursuing Ramazani all summer but have been unable to meet Leeds' valuation of the player.
In the end, another temporary move away from Elland Road, with an option to buy, could have to be agreed for the attacker's exit.
According to Esports Migdia radio journalist Alex Dominguez on 23 August, Ramazani remains a loan option for the LaLiga club in the final week of the window.
Apart from the Belgian forward, the Spanish side have other options on their radar to bolster their attack.
It doesn't look like any other team is really pushing to sign the former Almeria ace permanently, potentially leaving the Peacocks with no option but to accept what Valencia proposal.
What Daniel Farke still needs before transfer deadline at Elland Road
Leeds are pursuing Michael Zetterer, with a deal for the Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper looking imminent.
James Justin started at left-back in the absence of Gabriel Gudmundsson against Nottingham Forest, and if Farke wants to continue playing a back five, cover for the Swedish defender should be secured.
The midfield seems to have enough quality, as was shown by Anton Stach's late strike at the City Ground.
However, another addition up top may be needed to provide support for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha after Joel Piroe's exit.
