Carlos Corberan in Leeds United transfer row as CEO pushing for deal he 'doesn't want' Carlos Corberan was at Leeds from 2017 to 2020, working as the club's Under-23s coach for a year before becoming assistant to Marcelo Bielsa Carlos Corberan is at loggerheads with Valencia CEO Ron Gourlay over a deal for Leeds United winger Largie Ramazani. The Whites are said to have received interest from several teams, with Valencia being one of those and that is exactly where Ramazani wants to go. However, according to Spanish outlet Marca (via Inside Futbol), Corberan '‘isn’t keen' on signing Ramazani even though Gourlay is chasing a deal for the wide-man. The report claims that former Leeds assistant Corberan prefers a different type of player after being unhappy with the Belgian’s performances toward the end of last season. Ramazani spent last season on loan at the Mestalla Stadium and failed to make an impact for the first few months. However, he scored six goals in 2026 and got a prolonged period of starts - while he 'has called several Valencia players in recent days', further highlighting his determination to reunite with the La Liga club this summer. But as of yet, no deal has been agreed, even though his future at Elland Road remains uncertain. Leeds have already sold Pascal Struijk this summer while Jack Harrison, Maximilian Wober and Karl Darlow have also moved on. In terms of incomings, Harry Wilson, James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic have all joined Daniel Farke’s squad. Asked for a transfer update recently, Farke admitted: “Of course, we don't bring that many players in like for our example our first season back on Premier League level. “I think it's important again to be also picky which characters we want to bring in and which type of players we need. "Especially with the last two signings with James Trafford and Muharemovic - we have decided also for the future for young players who are still more or less very early in their career. But we also need still experience and also quality for a very difficult second year after promotion. "It's always the same, the second year, once that first initial rhythm of promotion is a bit away it's very often very tricky for that we are fully aware that a difficult season lies ahead and for that and we want to prepare in the best possible way and for that, I expect also that we will do something. "But I don't want to speak about it too much on profiles or positions because then it's also more or less like the price goes up if we negotiate with other clubs. "For that, we keep our business quite secret and we have spoken openly and a few months ago about what we want to do. "But right now when it's really about like to bring some players in I think it's not really beneficial if I speak too much about names or positions anyhow because a managers' price would just go up and for that we want to work sustainably, so we also work with limited resources, and for that we have to be smart. I am also convinced that business is not done yet."
