Real Madrid prospect set to undergo medical with his new club today | OneFootball

Jacobo Ramon, one of Real Madrid’s brightest young defenders, is heading to Serie A.

As reported by Nicolo Schira, the 20-year-old will undergo his medical with Como today and is expected to sign a long-term contract that runs until 2030.

The Italian club will pay €2.5 million for the transfer, with further bonuses potentially included in the deal.

However, this is not a full goodbye from Real Madrid. In line with their usual approach for developing talent, Los Blancos have retained 50% of any future sale value.

They have also included a buy-back clause that will be valid until 2028, giving them the chance to bring Ramon back if he continues to grow in Italy.

Following in Nico Paz’s footsteps

It is to be noted that Ramon is not the first Real Madrid youth product to take the Italian route. He follows former Castilla teammate Nico Paz to Como, a club now managed by former Barcelona and Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas.

Ramon had also attracted interest from three clubs in Spain, but chose Como for its project, style of play, and development opportunities under Fabregas.

The structure of this deal is very similar to other recent transfers involving players from La Fabrica, Real Madrid’s youth academy.

The club ensures they do not lose control over their young stars completely, while giving them the freedom to gain first-team experience elsewhere.

Ramon made his senior debut for Real Madrid in January during a 5-1 Champions League win over RB Salzburg.

He later scored a dramatic 95th-minute winner on his La Liga debut to help Madrid beat Celta Vigo 3-2, keeping their title hopes alive.

Despite playing only six matches for the senior team, he left a lasting impression, and now, he will look to make his mark in Serie A with Como.
