Real Madrid's center-back could move to Italy, he has an offer and Xabi will give the OK.

The decision Xabi Alonso will make regarding the opportunity that has arisen for a young Real Madrid center-back

Throughout the entire season, Real Madrid's defense was affected by multiple injuries. In addition to the first team's center backs, the youth academy also suffered from injuries to several center backs. Jacobo Ramón was one of them, who, despite his physical problems, has the opportunity to sign for Como, a situation that Xabi has accepted.

The Basque coach has agreed to allow the youth player to leave during this summer transfer window. After the progress that Nico Paz has achieved at Como, Xabi trusts this will also be the case for Jacobo. The club, after securing its place in Serie A, has seen Jacobo as a player who can improve its performance.

With the Italian league known for being very physical, this could be of great help for Jacobo's future development. Despite Real Madrid's interest in having another center back, Jacobo still needs experience that he will be able to gain at Como,

Another gem to Como

Confident in decision-making and strong in the air, these are just some of Jacobo Ramón's characteristics. The center back joined Real Madrid's youth academy in 2021, experiencing a meteoric rise. Upon arriving at the youth academy, Jacobo was already part of Castilla in 2024, working under Raúl González Blanco.

At just 20 years old, Jacobo managed to play a few minutes with the first team, where he showed part of his talent. However, with the presence of Rüdiger, Alaba, Militao, Huijsen, and Asencio, Jacobo Ramón doesn't have a place in the first team.

Despite playing a few minutes during the Club World Cup, his future has already been decided by Xabi Alonso.  Although Jacobo's talent can't be denied, the player is still not ready for the pressure and demands of the first team.

Xabi's plan

During his season at Como, Nico Paz managed to develop several of his qualities thanks to the continuity provided by the coach. Establishing himself as an important player, Jacobo could achieve the same in order to return to Real Madrid in the future.
