Real Madrid have sights set on former defender who is also attracting Premier League interest | OneFootball

Real Madrid have built a reputation for keeping a watchful eye on players they once nurtured. 

Whether it is someone sent out on loan or a talent sold for development elsewhere, Los Blancos always ensure they maintain an affordable buy-back clause.

One name currently standing out in this category is Jacobo Ramon, a product of La Fabrica, now playing under Cesc Fabregas at Como. 

When Real Madrid agreed to let him leave, they were confident that the move would serve as a long-term investment. Just a few months later, that belief is paying off handsomely.

Under Fabregas, Ramon has grown remarkably, with his performance against Napoli being the latest testament to his steady rise. 

The 20-year-old defender has not only won over his manager but also caught the attention of Xabi Alonso, who is reportedly keeping tabs on his progress, reports MARCA.

With the contracts of David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger nearing expiry, Real Madrid are exploring several avenues for renewal. 

While external signings are always an option, the club’s focus on homegrown talent like Ramon shows their commitment to building from within. 

Top option?

What truly sets Ramon apart is his exceptional ability on the ball. He boasts a 92% passing accuracy, completing 95% of his passes in his own half and 86% in the opposition’s half. 

Defensively, he wins 69% of his duels, including 72% in the air, and commits just one foul per game, reflecting both precision and control.

Unsurprisingly, his rise has also drawn attention from the Premier League, where financially powerful clubs are already monitoring his situation closely. 

For now, though, Real Madrid fans can take comfort in knowing that one of their own continues to flourish and may soon be ready for a grand return to the Bernabeu.
