Chelsea have asked Como about the availability of Jacobo Ramon, the towering Spanish defender who quietly became one of Serie A’s most impressive centre-backs this season.

The inquiry marks a renewed push from Stamford Bridge for a player they first scouted during the January transfer window. This time, they’re not alone. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked to the 21-year-old, turning what could have been a quiet negotiation into a Premier League arms race.

From Real Madrid castoff to Serie A revelation

Como picked him up from Real Madrid for just €2.5 million in July 2025. Less than a year later, he’s reportedly valued at around €30 million.

Born on January 6, 2005 in Madrid, Ramon stands at 1.96 meters tall. He primarily operates as a centre-back, and his height translates into genuine aerial dominance and defensive authority.
