Arsenal Eyes Real Madrid's Future Star Ramon
24 Jul
Summary
- Arsenal monitors defender Jacobo Ramon, formerly of Real Madrid.
- Real Madrid retains significant control via sell-on and buy-back clauses.
- Ramon has impressed at Como, making 37 appearances last season.
Arsenal is tracking the progress of Jacobo Ramon, a 21-year-old defender who previously came through Real Madrid's youth system. The Gunners are exploring defensive reinforcements and have added Ramon to their shortlist, but any potential move is complicated by Real Madrid's involvement.
Last year, Ramon departed Real Madrid for Como in a €2.5 million deal. Crucially, Real Madrid secured a 50% sell-on clause and several buy-back options as part of the agreement, retaining substantial influence over his future career path.
Under manager Cesc Fabregas, Ramon established himself as a key player for Como in Serie A. He made 37 appearances across all competitions during his debut season, contributing two goals and impressing consistently.
Despite Arsenal's interest, Real Madrid reportedly believes Ramon could still have a future at the Santiago Bernabeu. They are not expected to make an immediate decision, with a preference to evaluate his development until the summer of 2027.
Should Como receive an offer around Ramon's current market value of €30 million, Real Madrid would be entitled to €15 million from their sell-on clause. Alternatively, they could exercise their buy-back options to bring him back to Madrid.
