Real Madrid thought they had a €9 million route to signing Jacobo Ramon from Como, but the player himself has complicated that deal, potentially leaving Arsenal and Chelsea with a chance of landing the promising centre-back.
Como center-back Jacobo Ramon is reportedly unwilling to return to Real Madrid, despite the Spanish club holding an upcoming €9 million buy-back option. Ramon joined Cesc Fabregas' Como side for €2.5 million for 50 percent of his rights, and his reluctance to rejoin Los Blancos has put Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea on alert.
While Arsenal and Chelsea have shown interest, no formal contact has been made with Como. The 21-year-old defender is reportedly prioritizing regular first-team development in Serie A and will only consider prospective transfer moves next summer.
