Recruiting a winger is considered to be an urgent priority for Valencia, who remain keen on Leeds United<\/a> wide-man Largie Ramazani.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leeds strengthened their attacking department after winning promotion to the Premier League last summer, with Ramazani slipping down the pecking order as a result.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Yorkshire giants did not miss him, especially with Noah Okafor making a big impression following a formation switch from Daniel Farke mid-season.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leeds loaned Ramazani to Valencia, with Carlos Corberan\u2019s Los Che keen to include an obligation to buy in the deal, but the Yorkshire club refused to accept those terms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite a slow start, the move ultimately proved an inspired one as the 25-year-old made 31 appearances for Los Che, registering eight goal involvements across all competitions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

His performances also earned glowing praise, with one Valencia team-mate describing him as \u2018electric\u2019,<\/a> while another attacker at the club highlighted the Leeds loanee\u2019s defensive work-rate.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In May, it was suggested a permanent move could be possible if the financial conditions suited Valencia.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, despite CEO Ron Gourlay travelling to England<\/a> to push negotiations forward, Leeds have remained firm on their valuation, with Valencia prepared to wait until August in the hope the Whites lower their asking price.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Spanish daily Sport<\/a>, strengthening in the winger position remains one of Valencia\u2019s most pressing priorities, even as they continue to hope Leeds lower their asking price for Ramazani.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right-back is another area requiring attention, with Thomas Meunier\u2019s future still unresolved as Los Che now face competition from Hull City for his signature.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramazani, who joined Leeds in 2024, made an encouraging start at Elland Road before an ankle ligament injury disrupted his progress, limiting him to just 31 appearances for the Whites.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following a 14th-place finish last season, Leeds are looking to further strengthen their attack, having already added Harry Wilson to their ranks<\/a>, as they aim to climb higher up the Premier League table next term.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the former Belgium Under-21 international remains at Elland Road, he could be left facing another season on the fringes under Farke, with opportunities likely to be few and far between.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Valencia have been expecting potentially late movement on Ramazani this summer, but how long they can wait is open to question.<\/p>\n
