Leeds United are refusing to sanction Valencia's proposed loan move for Largie Ramazani as the club continue to push for a permanent sale this summer.
The Belgian winger is keen to return to Mestalla after a successful loan spell last season, but the two clubs remain at odds over the structure of a potential deal.
Leeds reject Valencia proposal
According to Spanish journalist Nacho Sanchis, Valencia want to re-sign Ramazani on loan with an option to buy.
However, Leeds are currently unwilling to accept those terms, preferring either a permanent transfer or a deal that guarantees a future sale.
The Whites also rejected the inclusion of a purchase option when Ramazani initially joined Valencia on loan, and their position has not changed.
Ramazani pushing for return
Ramazani impressed during his time in Spain and is eager to return to Valencia.
The report states the winger has remained in contact with the club's hierarchy, with Valencia's CEO recently speaking to the 25-year-old as they continue to explore a deal.
Leeds' stance, though, has stalled negotiations for now, with Los Che hoping the Yorkshire club soften their demands later in the transfer window.
The Belgian's omission from Leeds' pre-season tour also suggests he is no longer central to Daniel Farke's plans.
Leeds favour permanent exit
Leeds strengthened their attacking options earlier this summer by signing Harry Wilson and could still add another winger before the transfer deadline.
Barcelona youngster Roony Bardghji remains a player of interest, although the Catalan club want to include a buy-back clause in any sale.
With Ramazani facing limited opportunities at Elland Road, Leeds are hoping clubs capable of meeting their valuation enter the race instead of agreeing to another temporary move.
