Jacobo Ramon is slowly emerging as the next big star at Como, having produced consistent performances at the heart of the team’s backline.
After joining from Real Madrid on a permanent deal, Ramon has become a pivotal figure in Cesc Fabregas’ defensive unit, having almost featured in 50 competitive appearances.
Ramon’s performances have not gone unnoticed either, with recent reports linking him with a potential return to Real Madrid.
Ramon not thinking about Como exit
Ramon, though, is not thinking about his future at the moment and has certainly no intentions to leave Como anytime soon.

In a recent interact with Gazzetta dello Sport, the defender has clearly spelled out that he is happy at Como and is not thinking about a move elsewhere.
“The season has just started and I won’t focus on anything else,” he said (h/t Fabrizio Romano).
This is in line with an earlier report that stated Ramon is not thinking about his future and wants to focus on his development at Como.
No shortage of interest
As mentioned earlier, Ramon’s performances have alerted some of the biggest teams in Europe, including Real Madrid.
But apart from Los Blancos, the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on his performances in Serie A.

These clubs are keen on bringing the young defender to Spain, which already has a large contingent of hispanic defenders.
Real Madrid, though, have a trump card on their hands, having agreed to a buyback clause that was worth just €8 million this past summer.
While Los Blancos did not activate the option in the summer, they can still activate it in the summer of 2027 and 2028, though the fee would rise by at least €1 million each year.
The buyback clause gives Real Madrid a massive cushion against European rivals, as observed in the Nico Paz deal. But for now, Ramon has no desire to leave Como.
