Chelsea join Liverpool for Jacobo Ramon


Chelsea have reportedly joined Liverpool in the race to sign Como’s impressive young centre-back Jacobo Ramón, setting up what could be a fascinating Premier League tug-of-war for one of Serie A’s brightest defensive talents.

From Real Madrid to Serie A Stardom

The 21-year-old Spaniard caught the eye last season at Real Madrid, making six first-team appearances and scoring a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Mallorca in May. That breakthrough convinced Como to bring him to Italy, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Standing at an imposing 6ft 5in, Ramón has quickly become a Serie A regular, demonstrating why many believe he’s destined for the very top. His statistics paint an impressive picture: two goals in 17 league appearances and a remarkable 92 duels won, according to FotMob. These aren’t just numbers – they represent a defender who combines physical presence with genuine technical quality.

Premier League Interest Intensifies

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea view Ramón as the perfect fit for their youth-focused recruitment strategy, seeing him as a future Premier League leader. Meanwhile, Liverpool believe his pace and composure would slot seamlessly into Arne Slot’s high-intensity, pressing system.

However, signing Ramón won’t come cheap. With Real Madrid holding a 50% sell-on clause, Como will likely demand considerably more than £15 million. Tottenham, Newcastle, Brighton and Crystal Palace have also registered interest, intensifying the competition.

Como’s Defensive Foundation

What makes Ramón’s performances even more impressive is Como’s overall defensive record. After 19 Serie A matches, only AS Roma have conceded fewer goals than Como’s 13, whilst their nine clean sheets match the league’s best alongside Lazio and Roma.

Ramón’s partnership with Marc-Oliver Kempf has been central to this success, proving that Cesc Fabregas’ Como aren’t just about attacking flair – they’ve built something special at the back too. The coming months will reveal whether Chelsea or Liverpool can convince the young Spaniard that his future lies in the Premier League.
