Arsenal and Chelsea Monitor Jacobo Ramon

Arsenal and Chelsea continue to follow Como's center-back Jacobo Ramon, while Real Madrid retains a crucial role in determining his future thanks to complex contractual clauses, according to 'CaughtOffside'.

The 21-year-old defender shone in the Italian league after moving from Real Madrid in 2025 for about 2.5 million euros, with the Spanish club retaining 50% of any future sale and an option to repurchase the player.

Reports indicate that the repurchase value could reach about 8 million euros this summer, while Como might demand between 45 and 50 million euros if the player is sold to English Premier League clubs.

If Arsenal or Chelsea make a move, Real Madrid can activate the repurchase clause first, then determine the player's future itself, in addition to benefiting financially from any future sale.

Ramon is considered one of the most prominent young defenders due to his height, composure, and training at Real Madrid's academy, which explains Arsenal's interest in him despite their defensive depth, while Chelsea might offer him more playing opportunities due to their defensive needs.
