Largie Ramazani arrived in Spain in the early hours of Thursday morning as the Leeds United ace closes in on signing for Valencia on loan for the 2025-26 campaign.
Just one year after joining Leeds for a £10m fee from Almeria, Ramazani is back in La Liga and this time with a familiar face to Leeds supporters. Carlos Corberan is set to land the winger, luring him to Valencia.
When Manor Solomon left Leeds to return to Tottenham, Ramazani might have felt he had a chance of breaking into the Leeds side in the Premier League. No one saw Jack Harrison being reintegrated.
But he has, even if Harrison played left-back against Sheffield Wednesday. Noah Okafor has been signed and the £18m man’s arrival from Milan has allowed Ramazani to leave Leeds and go on loan to Valencia.

According to Spanish paper AS, Ramazani landed in Alicante at 23:50 (British time) on Wednesday night. In Spanish time, the winger had touched down just before 1am and Spanish reporters were waiting.
While walking towards a transfer, Ramazani gave a few words to AS with their reporters in place. He told them that he was “very happy” to be returning to Spain and that he had already spoken with Corberan.
“I’m very happy to be here and to be playing in LaLiga again. I’ve spoken with Corberán. I’m physically fit to play now,” Ramazani said, who could be signed in time to play against Getafe on Friday night.

Valencia and Leeds have been locked in talks over the clauses and fees associated with a loan deal. Leeds requested a loan fee but wanted a dry loan for Ramazani, while Valencia wanted a permanent clause.

But it seems Valencia have withdrawn their request in order to keep a deal alive. Whether there is a loan fee remains to be seen. Leeds also wanted a recall clause in case he played less than half the games.
However, Leeds have also withdrawn that request and now it seems an agreement has been made which allows Ramazani to travel. Having arrived late last night, Ramazani will be expected to sign on Thursday.
