Leeds United reportedly made contact with Almeria earlier in the transfer window regarding their winger Largie Ramazani.
Now, the Spanish club is planning contract talks to retain the player.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke recently outlined the team’s transfer priorities, including a full-back, central midfielder, and two attackers to replace departing players Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter.
However, time is running short for Leeds to act on these priorities.Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Leeds is one of three clubs monitoring Ramazani.
The Belgian winger, formerly with Manchester United’s youth setup, is in the final year of his contract with relegated Almeria, making him potentially available for transfer.
In response to interest from clubs like Leeds, Almeria is planning to offer Ramazani a new contract until 2028.
This move suggests Almeria recognizes Ramazani may be too talented for Spain’s second tier.
It remains uncertain whether Ramazani would agree to a new deal.
Leeds could disrupt Almeria’s plans by making an offer, which might be relatively affordable given Ramazani’s contract situation and Almeria’s relegation.
Ramazani’s versatility as a creative dribbler capable of playing across the attack could make him an attractive option for Leeds’ recruitment team, potentially at a lower cost than domestic alternatives.
