Leeds United have been busy this summer,trying to strengthen their team as they aim to return to the Premier League. One target they made an offer for was Largie Ramazani, a young winger from Belgium.

Ramazani’s Current Situation
But now, things look bleak for Leeds United. According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Largie Ramazani is in negotiations for a new contract with his current club UD Almeria.
This news provides a blow to Leeds, who had been fighting to bring in new blood before the transfer window closes.
Other Clubs Interested
It is not just Leeds United who have been interested in Ramazani. Turkish club Besiktas and Greek outfit AEK Athens are also looking for his signature.
Despite the other clubs having shown an interest in signing him, Ramazani seems set on staying at Almeria for now.
Almeria’s Situation
Last season it was a tough time for UD Almeria. Following a disappointing finish in Spain’s top division, they were relegated from La Liga back to La Liga 2.

Ramazani’s Career So Far
Largie Ramazani, now 23 years old, has had a promising career to date as a winger. In 31 games for Almeria he has netted 4 goals and provided 5 assists.
Before joining Almeria, Ramazani was part of Manchester United’s youth system, having come through Charlton Athletic’s academy.
However, he didn’t make it into their first team and in 2020 joined Almeria as a free agent.
What This Means for Leeds United
If Ramazani stays at Almeria, Leeds United will have to look elsewhere for new signings. Their chances of a return to the Premier League this season all depend on whether they can make some crucial signings in the last few weeks of the transfer window.
