Arsenal make move for 21yo Como star, Gunners want him under Arteta

Arsenal have reportedly made a move to sign Como defender Jacobo Ramon, according to Tuttomercatoweb. The 21-year-old Spanish center-back joined the Serie A club from Real Madrid in 2025 and has become a primary target for Gunners manager Mikel Arteta. Real Madrid hold a £7.7 million buy-back option for next summer alongside a 50 percent sell-on clause, though Ramon is reportedly reluctant to return as a backup.

ArsenalNews.co.uk questions whether Arsenal will successfully complete the permanent transfer due to heavy competition in the squad. The outlet highlights that Arsenal already feature William Saliba, recent signing Ezri Konsa, and Cristhian Mosquera at right center-back, suggesting Como could instead pay Real Madrid to buy out their retained clauses.
