Champions League
Arsenal eye Jacobo Ramon, already signed for €2.5m
In the Como club's press room, journalists' eyes are on Jacobo Ramon, a central defender who surprised Serie B last season. Como is soaring, despite the unexpected recent stop against Frosinone, and Ramon is among the best, having contributed to the Champions League participation secured by the Larian club.
The transfer from Madrid to Como
Jacobo Ramon's transfer from Madrid to Como was completed for €2.5 million. The contract includes buy‑back clauses starting at €8 million and can rise to €10 million in the summer windows, with Madrid retaining 50 percent of any future resale.
The formula used for his acquisition mirrors that of Nico Paz, who was bought back by Madrid and then sold in a separate deal to Como. This model provides repurchase conditions that allow the Spanish club to intervene again in the player's ownership.
Arsenal's interest
Arsenal, as hinted in recent days, has shown interest in the defender. Mikel Arteta prefers centre‑backs with temperament and character, regardless of nationality, and sees Ramon as a profile suited to his project.
The original headline reads “Real permitting”, without further details on its implication. However, the presence of Real in the headline suggests a possible influence in the transfer negotiations.
If Arsenal's interest materialises, the young defender could become one of the first Spanish talents to wear the Gunners' shirt, marking a new chapter in his rapid rise.
