Como defender Jacobo Ramón has emerged as a prime target for several top European clubs following his standout performances in Italy, but the 21-year-old Spaniard is currently not considering a return to Real Madrid, according to reports from Diario AS. Ramón has established himself as a central figure in the defensive line for Como under the guidance of Spanish manager Cesc Fabregas.
Real Madrid Buy-Back Structure and Transfer History
Real Madrid sold Ramón to Como ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window on a permanent deal while retaining 50% of the player’s rights alongside a buy-back clause. Despite holding these contractual levers, Real Madrid faces an uphill battle as the player prioritizes regular first-team minutes over returning to a bench role at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Premier League Interest Intensifies
Como’s development of former Real Madrid academy stars—echoing the trajectory of Nico Paz—has drawn intense scouting attention across Europe. Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea have emerged in the front line to monitor Ramón’s situation closely, attracted by his no-nonsense defensive style and physical presence at the back. Ramón has already accumulated 43 competitive appearances in just over one year in Italy, satisfying his demand for consistent senior exposure that top-tier clubs with crowded squads often struggle to provide.
