Leeds United Manager Daniel Farke Opens Up About Largie Ramazani’s Loan Exit
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has shed light on the decision to loan out winger Largie Ramazani to Valencia, a move that sparked debate among fans. Farke emphasized that Ramazani’s desire for regular game time drove the decision, as the winger struggled to secure consistent starts in the Championship last season.
Ramazani’s Situation
- Limited Game Time: Ramazani faced stiff competition from teammates like Willy Gnonto, Dan James, and Manor Solomon, limiting his playing opportunities.
- Desire to Leave: Ramazani expressed his wish to join Valencia, seeking regular game time in La Liga.
- Loan Deal: Leeds United agreed to loan Ramazani to Valencia without a buy option, but initially wanted a recall clause, which was included in the deal.
Farke’s Perspective
Farke stressed that he wouldn’t beg a player to stay if they want to leave, allowing Ramazani to negotiate the best possible deal. “If a player wants that move, I’m not begging a player to stay; I leave it with people to get the best possible deal.” Farke still rates Ramazani, but the winger’s limited game time in the Championship influenced the decision to let him join Valencia on loan.
Potential Impact on Ramazani’s Career
The loan move could benefit Ramazani, providing him with valuable experience in La Liga and potentially improving his chances of becoming a regular starter. Valencia coach Carlos Corberan praised Ramazani’s speed, versatility, and ability to stretch the team, indicating he could play a key role.
