Como centre-back Jacobo Ramón is attracting heavy Premier League interest, but Real Madrid’s €8m buy-back and a 50% sell-on clause complicate any deal. Betting angle: odds on a switch to Chelsea or Liverpool would shorten if Madrid stand aside; punters should monitor Madrid’s decision before backing transfer markets or "next club" futures.
Jacobo Ramón draws Premier League attention as Real Madrid hold the cards
Como’s 21-year-old centre-back Jacobo Ramón has become one of the most watched young defenders of the winter window, with multiple Premier League clubs sending scouts to evaluate his progress since December. The Spaniard has established himself as a regular starter after joining from Real Madrid last summer and has impressed with his composure and reading of the game.
Premier League suitors lining up
Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool are among the clubs most closely monitoring Ramón, while Newcastle United, Brighton and Crystal Palace have also sent representatives to assess him in person. Chelsea see him as a long-term youth-focused investment, Liverpool value his pace and calm on the ball for a press-heavy system, and other clubs believe his maturity would allow a quick adjustment to English football.
Player profile and recent form
At 21, Ramón has made 16 league appearances this season and has stood out for technical ability, tactical awareness and maturity beyond his years. He joined Como from Real Madrid last summer and has been a consistent performer as part of Como’s ambitious project in Italy.
Contract complications and financial mechanics
Although Ramón’s market value is estimated near €18m and he is contracted until 2030, his transfer is complicated by a Real Madrid €8m buy-back option and a 50% sell-on clause inserted when he left. That structure means either Madrid can reacquire him cheaply and resell for profit, or they will receive half of any transfer fee Como negotiates, forcing interested clubs to build offers that satisfy both Como and Madrid.
Transfer timeline and implications for betting markets
Real Madrid’s decision this month is decisive: if they trigger the €8m buy-back, they could immediately resell Ramón to the highest bidder, shortening odds on a move to Madrid or a high-profile Premier League club. If Madrid remain passive, Como control negotiations but any fee will still be influenced by the 50% sell-on. For punters, that means transfer and “next club” markets can shift quickly; monitor club signals and Madrid’s stance before placing bets, and consider waiting for confirmation rather than betting early on a specific destination.
