Spanish news outlet El Desmarque, via Sport Witness, reports that Valencia urgently need help from Leeds United. They want to keep winger Largie Ramazani for good during the next summer transfer window. The Belgian attacker joined the La Liga giants on a season-long loan last summer. However, his first few months at the Mestalla were a real struggle.
He couldn’t find a regular spot in the lineup during that time. In fact, reports in early January suggested the Spanish club even thought about cutting the deal short. The player had stayed stuck at the very bottom of the pecking order. Everything changed when February hit. The forward suddenly found his spark and became a key part of the starting eleven.

Ramazani has recently played a big role in several huge wins for the Spanish side. He even got a nod for the February Goal of the Month after a run of great strikes. This sudden turnaround means the talk around his future has changed completely. It went from a likely January exit to the club desperately wanting him to stay long-term.
Leeds United originally set up the loan without an option to buy. They included penalty clauses that would kick in if the player didn’t get enough time on the pitch. Valencia now find themselves in a tough spot financially.
A permanent move looks unlikely unless the bosses at Elland Road agree to drop their price or change the terms. The Spanish club hope to talk the English side into backing down. Even so, any deal mostly depends on the forward’s performance. He has to keep up this high level until the season ends.
Does Ramazani Still Have a Future in the Leeds United Premier League Project?

The 24-year-old Belgium Under-21 international presents a tricky tactical puzzle for Leeds United. The club currently sit comfortably in the middle of the table as they look toward the 2026/27 season. When the club let him go, many saw it as a sign that his style didn’t fit.
Observers felt he didn’t have the defensive work rate the first team needed. Yet, his recent hot streak in Spain shows he has that X-factor. The squad often misses that kind of spark when games get stale. Analysts suggest Leeds United should see this jump in his value as a big win. They should not feel forced to sell to a cash-strapped Valencia.
If the Belgian keeps scoring and celebrating with his usual somersaults, the recruitment team at Elland Road has a choice to make. They have to decide if they want a big transfer fee or a refreshed player for their own attack. Selling him now might help the finances. However, bringing back a player who has proven he can handle top-tier Spanish teams could give them the extra edge they need.
This variety could help the team push for European spots next year. The Elland Road hierarchy has all the power here. They refused to put a fixed price in the original contract. Keeping him lets the manager look at a more mature, confident winger.

The player has finally learned to perform under pressure in a big league. Leeds United may choose to stand their ground. They could turn down any lowball offers from Valencia, as the player’s current form suggests his price tag will only go up before the summer window opens.
