Leeds United is undergoing squad turnover involving several players. Initially, the club was negotiating the potential departures of winger Largie Ramazani, who sought a return to Valencia CF, and forward Joe Gelhardt, who was linked with a move to Wrexham AFC.

By late August, the departures of Sam Byram and Largie Ramazani became more certain. Byram confirmed a move to Middlesbrough as a free agent, seeking more regular playing time in the Championship. Manager Daniel Farke indicated that Ramazani was not part of his plans for the upcoming season, noting that players not included in the pre-season squad would not be involved.

As the summer transfer deadline approaches, Ramazani’s future remains unsettled. While he is being linked with a permanent return to Valencia, negotiations between Leeds United and the Spanish club have stalled because Leeds is seeking a permanent transfer valued at “€4m plus a sell-on clause” rather than a loan. Consequently, Burnley is currently in negotiations to sign the Belgian winger on loan. Other clubs, including West Ham United and Norwich City, have also expressed interest in the player.
