Largie Ramazani may have played his final game for Leeds United following the latest update on his future.
The winger struggled to get regular gametime during the Whites’ title-winning season last time out, and he was also absent from the matchday squad for Saturday’s defeat at Arsenal.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds side were dismantled in emphatic fashion by their impressive hosts, in a chastening afternoon that dealt a very harsh reminder as to the task that faces them this season.
The squad has been revamped at Elland Road this summer in preparation for the return to the Premier League, and Ramazani now looks likely to become a fall guy as a result.

Ramazani’s future at Leeds has come under speculation in recent weeks, as Farke and Co. continue to work hard to strengthen the squad as much as possible before the imminent deadline.
The recent signing of Noah Okafor has taken the West Yorkshire outfit’s tally of summer additions to nine, and his arrival looks to have out the final nail in the coffin of Ramazani.
The 24-year-old is now understood to be on the verge of completing a move to Valencia, according to Tribuna Deportiva.
Ramazani is set to join the Spanish giants on an initial loan deal with the option to buy, and he will link up with former Leeds assistant Carlos Corberan at the Mestalla Stadium.
The player himself has had the move agreed for some time, but the Whites have since been able to settle on their part of the deal after completing their move for Okafor.

Ramazani’s time at Leeds will understandably provide him with reason for frustration, after how little opportunity he has been given.
The wideman arrived from La Liga outfit Almeria last summer, and started just seven Championship games last term, despite notching eight goal contributions throughout the campaign.
- Ramazani had the highest goals per 90 figure of anyone in Leeds’ squad last term
- Only Georginio Rutter had a higher goal involvements per 90 (he only played one game)
- Ramazani started just seven Championship games all season
No player in the Leeds squad had a higher goals per 90 than Ramazani in 2024/25, and he can certainly count himself lucky to have not featured in more than the 797 minutes of league football that he played.
The Belgian has been subject to some unfortunate timing at Elland Road, as he first found himself behind the excellent Manor Solomon in the pecking order, and has now arguably seen the squad outgrow him this summer.
He was by no means the most gifted player in the Leeds squad, but there can be no mistaking the fact that they look set to lose a potentially valuable impact player.
