Largie Ramazani is closing in on a move to Leeds United for a fee of £10m with the winger already in England and set for a medical, as Leeds look to replace Crysencio Summerville.
Ramazani, 23, starred for Almeria last season and had a hand in eight La Liga goals during 29 games. But, the Belgium u21 star couldn’t stop his side from being relegated and has entered the last year of his deal.
Leeds have struck a deal with Almeria worth £10m, including add-ons and a 15% sell-on clause. Ramazani is eyed as a replacement for Crysencio Summerville but is unlikely to be the last signing that Leeds make.
With a medical pencilled in for Thursday, Leeds could announce Ramazani at some point today. Though they would have to do so before midday to be registered in time to face Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
Two Leeds players are already following Ramazani on Instagram
All signs suggest that Ramazani is on his way to Elland Road if he is not already there, with Leeds fans on social media spotting a private jet from Almeria. But, nothing has been confirmed by officials at the club.
However, a couple of Leeds players have potentially dropped a hint on Instagram by following the former Manchester United and Charlton Athletic prospect, suggesting Ramazani is on his way or in the building.
Indeed, Mateo Joseph and youngster Cian Coleman have followed Ramazani, as seen in the screenshot below. A further sign then that without comment from the club, Ramazani is set to sign for Leeds United.
Contract details on table for Ramazani at Leeds ahead of signing
The winger comes in for a thin slice of the overall takings Leeds have raked in from player sales this summer, having clocked up nearly £140m. Only £15m has been spent on Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle.
Ramazani’s deal will take spending to £25m, with Joe Rothwell signed on loan and Alex Cairns for a nominal fee. Reports say that Ramazani is due to sign a contract at Leeds that will take him to June 2028.
