Sale closed after the World Cup, Fabrizio Romano confirms it: it's not Rodrygo

Real Madrid was keeping an eye, aside from its participation in the Club World Cup, on rebuilding Santiago Bernabéu locker room. Carlo Ancelotti's departure marks the conclusion of a sports project, while Xabi Alonso's arrival signals the beginning of a new era at the Spanish capital club.

In this regard, the Valdebebas offices are moving forward with the generational change of the first team. The goal is to shape the group that Xabi Alonso will work with over the next nine months, making the additions and departures that are necessary. The arrivals section is quite clear, but there are also farewells to process.

Not only those of legends like Luka Modric or Lucas Vázquez, who left the white squad after the heavy defeat inflicted by PSG in the Club World Cup. There is also a footballer about to leave Real Madrid Sports City to reunite with a teammate in Serie A. Fabrizio Romano has revealed the entire move.

The information published by the Italian journalist points to Jacobo Ramón as the next outgoing operation signed by the white sports management. Under these negotiations, the Spanish center-back would leave thanks to a "similar agreement" to the one reached by Nico Paz during the summer of 2024.

On the way out

Jacobo Ramón would head to Como 1907 to reunite with his teammate from Real Madrid Castilla, placing himself under Cesc Fàbregas's orders. That trip to Italy is getting closer to being finalized, given that both clubs seem to be in a position to finish the deal as soon as possible.

"After the Club World Cup, Como and Real Madrid plan to move forward in negotiations for the defender," says Fabrizio Romano. Thus, the youth academy product will be part of a trend repeated every summer over the last fifteen years in the Madrid sports hierarchy.

The "exodus" of talent experienced by La Fábrica continues to yield exceptional results. Many of the players now standing out in the European football elite have passed, in some cases even briefly, through one of Real Madrid's training stages. Jacobo Ramón would be no exception to this seemingly endless trend.

It remains to be seen what performance the center-back, one of the most outstanding from the first Madrid reserve team, will deliver in his first "adventure" away from the Spanish capital. The executives led by Florentino Pérez have their own plan for the heart of the defense, but that roadmap could change if Jacobo Ramón stands out in Italy.
