Real Madrid Sell Defender Jacobo Ramón to Serie A Como

Real Madrid has confirmed the permanent transfer of 20-year-old center back Jacobo Ramón to Serie A club Como ahead of the 2025–26 season. Ramón, who joined Real Madrid's youth academy at age eight and progressed through the ranks, struggled to secure regular first-team minutes, playing only six times in the last two years. Despite limited appearances, he scored a crucial stoppage-time winner against Mallorca that briefly kept Real Madrid's La Liga title hopes alive. The transfer deal reportedly amounts to €2.5 million, with Real Madrid retaining three buy-back clauses and a 50% sell-on clause. Como's head coach, former Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, expressed confidence in Ramón's potential and expected impact on the team. Meanwhile, Real Madrid blocked the transfer of another defensive prospect, 18-year-old Diego Aguado, who is viewed as a long-term asset by head coach Xabi Alonso and recently extended his contract until 2029.
