Como are looking to build a strong roster for the upcoming season, and they have identified a Castilla star as their primary defensive target in this summer window.
As per recent reports via Fabrizio Romano, Como have identified Jacobo Ramon as their defensive target.
Real Madrid and Como will engage in negotiations once the Club World Cup ends, as Los Blancos are all set to face PSG in the semifinals on Wednesday in New Jersey.
Como, reportedly, are plotting a similar move to Nico Paz, who moved to Italy last summer in a complicated deal.
Paz joined the newly promoted Serie A team for €6m ($7m), but Real Madrid retain 50% of the sell-on fee, meaning Como only half-own the Argentine.
The 20-year-old’s decision to move to Italy proved to be a game-changer as he featured in 34 Serie A matches, netting six goals and providing eight assists in the 2024/25 season.
