According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Leeds United is on the verge of announcing the signing of Almeria winger Largie Ramazani.
The deal is reportedly worth £10.2 million and includes a 15% sell-on clause.
This acquisition is said to be the first of four transfers that manager Daniel Farke aims to complete before the August 30 transfer deadline, as reported by Sky Sports.
The 49ers Enterprises, Leeds United’s ownership group, has faced criticism for selling key players like Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, and Georginio Rutter.
However, with the transfer window closing soon, they appear to be accelerating their recruitment efforts.While £10.2 million is a significant sum for a Championship club, it’s noted that Leeds have generated over £100 million from recent player sales, suggesting more investment may be needed.
The club had previously considered Sunderland’s Jack Clarke, but that option seems unlikely now with Ramazani’s impending arrival.If Ramazani was registered before noon on August 22, he could potentially feature in Leeds’ match against Sheffield Wednesday on August 23, which would be a boost for the team after a disappointing start to the season with two draws and a League Cup defeat.
The article concludes by suggesting that this signing is just the beginning of Leeds United’s transfer activity, with more announcements expected to follow.
