Manchester United eye €50m Spanish defender as defensive gap widens

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Como defender Jacobo Ramon as Michael Carrick looks to strengthen defensive options ahead of the upcoming transfer windows.

Lisandro Martinez’s uncertain future could also make the 21‑year‑old an attractive option for United.

According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Red Devils have increased their interest in the 21‑year‑old Spanish defender after his impressive performances in Serie A.

Several Premier League clubs are monitoring his development, with Chelsea and Arsenal also admirers of the talented centre‑back.

Liverpool and Fulham have been mentioned as potential admirers as well.

Deal details

The defender is valued at around €50 million.

Como secured his services for just €2.5 million, putting them in a strong negotiating position.

Real Madrid could complicate United’s move, having retained a 50 per cent sell‑on clause and buy‑back options when they allowed Ramon to join Como.

Madrid are considering bringing him back in 2027, which could make a Premier League signing difficult.

Ramon is contracted to Como until 2030 and remains happy with his regular playing time in Italy.
