Largie Ramazani has left Leeds United to join Valencia on loan, and it’s a big opportunity for the winger to prove to Daniel Farke why he should have been used more.
United’s promotion back to the Premier League was mission accomplished for Daniel Farke, but there were developments that left an unsavoury taste, including treatment of Largie Ramazani.
Prior to an ankle injury in October 2024, the Belgian was electric and one of Leeds’ best players, but managed one start in the rest of the league campaign and has now been frozen out of plans completely.

Largie Ramazani seals Leeds United loan exit to Carlos Corberan’s Valencia
An exit looked inevitable from the moment Ramazani was left out of the travelling squads against Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday, ironically as those in front of him in the pecking order failed to prove why they are favoured over the maverick 24-year-old.
A move to Valencia has since been confirmed for Ramazani, teaming up with former Leeds coach Carlos Corberan at the Mestalla, who has overseen a remarkable turnaround to take them from a relegation scrap to mid-table last season.

Leeds have opted to omit any buy option in Ramazani’s loan to the La Liga club, suggesting the door remains open for both him and Mateo Joseph in 2026 when their loans conclude.
Willy Gnonto among those reacting to Largie Ramazani’s Leeds United exit with telling message
Ramazani’s situation has prompted plenty of discussion online, many believing that the winger has been unfairly treated at Elland Road.
In terms of player reaction, Willy Gnonto took to Instagram to share a message for Ramazani after his move was completed:
“Your time!” Gnonto wrote.
Largie Ramazani could prove Daniel Farke badly wrong under Carlos Corberan
If ever there was a manager that could make or break the notion that Ramazani can’t put in the defensive work as Farke has strongly suggested, it’s Corberan.
One of the most interesting, pragmatic coaches working in a major league, the Spaniard’s approach without the ball could be just what Ramazani needs to tune in these supposed weaknesses.
On top of that, a chance to be platformed in a solid La Liga side and showcase why he’s so highly-rated amongst the Leeds fanbase could be exactly what he needs to prove Farke wrong.
Farke could be left with egg on his face if Ramazani manages a good season like he’s fancied to.
