Hull Hijack Gelhardt Move, Ramazani Row Emerges, Croke Park Historical Significance, Perri Update

🔔Wednesday's Leeds United round-up: why tonight's Croke Park friendly against Man United means more than just a rivalry renewal, Hull City swoop in to hijack Joe Gelhardt's move from Birmingham, a genuine internal row emerges over Largie Ramazani at Valencia, Lucas Perri's Torino move gets a firm date, Joe Rodon opens up on his tactical flexibility down the right, and Sebastiaan Bornauw's Hamburg loan is expected to be completed this week.In this video:Why tonight matters at Croke Park — This is the first-ever club football match played at Croke Park, and the first time two English clubs have played each other there. We break down the ground's history — Rule 42, Bloody Sunday, the Hogan Stand — and why the GAA opening its doors for this fixture is a genuinely historic moment, not just another pre-season friendly.Hull hijack Gelhardt — Just as Birmingham looked set to land him, Hull City have swooped in with direct contact and genuine optimism over a permanent return. Gelhardt scored 15 goals in a season-long loan there last year and reportedly has his heart set on going back — a swift resolution could even see him involved in Saturday's friendly vs Nice.Ramazani row at Valencia — The player wants Valencia and is pushing hard, even calling former teammates. But reports suggest CEO Ron Gourlay wants the deal while manager Carlos Corberán doesn't — a genuine disagreement that could stall things regardless of the player's efforts.Perri to Torino — dated itinerary — No longer vague "advanced talks." Perri lands in Turin Thursday for his medical, signs the same day, trains Friday, and is presented to fans Saturday. Loan plus an option worth around £9.4m/€11m.Rodon's tactical flexibility — The centre-back opened up on drifting forward down the right against Leipzig, assisting Calvert-Lewin's opener. Jayden Bogle backed up his read on the system — part of a fluid 3-4-2-1 shape that's been developing since last November.Bornauw's Hamburg exit — timeline confirmed — The Athletic now reports HSV expect to complete the loan this week, adding a firm timeline to what had already been "very far advanced."👍 Like, comment, subscribe for daily LUFC news and weekend Transfer Talk🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an upload Hosted on Acast.
