Como centre-back Jacobo Ramon, 21, has drawn Liverpool and Chelsea scouting interest after ranking sixth in Serie A for aerial duels and placing in the top 10% for progressive carries. If a Premier League transfer happens, punters may back his new side for improved defensive solidity and longer odds on clean sheets; markets on Ramon making Spain’s World Cup squad could also shorten.
Liverpool and Chelsea chase Como defender Jacobo Ramon
21-year-old Jacobo Ramon has emerged as one of Serie A’s most eye-catching young centre-backs, attracting reported interest from top Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Chelsea. The towering 6ft 5in defender has played a pivotal role for Como as they push for European qualification this season.
Why top clubs are watching
Dominant in the air
Ramon ranks sixth in Serie A for aerial duels won, offering clear physical presence and threat at both ends of the pitch.
Ball-carrying and progressive play
He sits inside the top 10% of centre-backs in the division for carries and progressive carrying distance, underlining his comfort bringing the ball out from the back and progressing play through midfield lines.
Player profile and transfer background
Real Madrid academy graduate
A product of the Real Madrid academy, Ramon moved to Como last summer for a fee of around €2.5m after making six senior appearances for Real. His blend of size, composure and carrying ability has accelerated his rise.
International prospects
Ramon has three caps for Spain at U21 level and has been tipped as a contender for a senior national-team spot ahead of major tournaments, thanks to his breakout season.
Betting implications and market impact
If a move to Liverpool or Chelsea materialises, expect markets to react: bookmakers could shorten odds on his prospective club keeping more clean sheets and conceding fewer goals. Additionally, markets on Ramon earning a place in Spain’s World Cup squad may shift in his favour as exposure and competition level increase.
