The Serie A center-back Maldini recommends to Real Madrid: 'One of the best'

The season has already been underway for a few days for all clubs, with Serie A playing its first matchday. Como, one of last season's surprise teams, has once again made headlines because of a center-back. Pointed out by Maldini as a player who could succeed at Real Madrid, Jacobo Ramón has dazzled with his level.

"He's played two matches, had a very good preseason game, and was also one of the best against Lazio," were Maldini's words. Under Cesc Fàbregas's orders, the young Spaniard is enjoying continuity that has allowed him to showcase his game. "Watch out for Jacobo Ramón's level...He's going to be one of the great center-backs in Serie A."

With these last words, Maldini made his expectations regarding the young Spanish center-back clear. In addition, he also made it clear that, if he keeps improving, Jacobo would be the ideal center-back for Real Madrid. The club, having a buy-back clause, could secure his services without any problem.

A new gem in Serie A

Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy from 2021 to 2025, Jacobo Ramón always stood out for his defensive solidity. Despite being 20 years old, the Spaniard's cleverness on the field is that of an experienced player. Skilled with the ball, with great aerial play and an outstanding mentality, Jacobo was one of the club's best youth players.

Leaving for Como this very summer, Real Madrid is looking to repeat the formula that worked with Nico Paz. The praise from Maldini shows that, at least at the start of this season, the team is achieving its goal. Having played 180 min. (180 minutes) with Como, Jacobo has established himself as an undisputed starter for Cesc Fàbregas.

This feat has not escaped Real Madrid's attention, with the club keeping a close eye on its youth player. Given the need for another center-back, the club could count on Jacobo again next summer. Young and with great potential, the center-back's return to Valdebebas depends on his progress at Como in a season that promises a lot.

The ideal center-back for Real Madrid

Although the team holds 50% of a future sale of Jacobo Ramón, the player is earning the right to return. If he manages to succeed during this season, Jacobo could join Nico Paz in his return to Valdebebas. However, Real Madrid has shown patience with Jacobo's progress.
