Real Madrid defender signs his contract with new club ahead of €2.5 million transfer – Romano | OneFootball

The slew of youth departures from Real Madrid continues as Jacobo Ramon is now set to become the latest youngster to bid goodbye to the club.

Los Blancos have parted ways with several young talents over the past weeks, with the likes of Chema Andres, Lorenzo Aguado, Marvel, Rafel Obrador, Victor Munoz, and Yusi all leaving the club.

Now, it is Jacobo who will move away from Valdebebas to sign for Como in Italy.

Indeed, according to Fabrizio Romano, Jacobo Ramon has now signed his contract to become a new player for Como, following in the footsteps of another former Real Madrid youngster, Nico Paz.

As per the update, Real Madrid will pocket a fee of €2.5 million for the 20-year-old centre-back, plus add-ons based on appearances.

Furthermore, the Merengues retain a 50% future sell-on clause as well as three buyback clauses for the next three years – an arrangement similar to the deal that the two clubs had agreed for Nico Paz in 2024.

Jacobo made his first-team debut for Real Madrid in January earlier this year and got some minutes towards the end of the La Liga campaign as the first-team squad was riddled with injuries.

However, with Dean Huijsen arriving and the likes of Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger returning from injuries, he did not stand a chance of a first-team breakthrough in the new season under Xabi Alonso.

As such, Jacobo will now move to Como on a permanent transfer aiming to continue his development under Cesc Fabregas, in the hope of securing a future return to Real Madrid.
