Jacobo Ramón has emerged as a central figure for Como under manager Cesc Fàbregas, combining defensive solidity in Serie A with standout performances in the UEFA Champions League that have drawn the attention of Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente, according to reports from AS and OKDiario.

Market valuation climbs to forty-five million euros following rapid rise

The twenty-one-year-old central defender has seen his market valuation rise to forty-five million euros according to Transfermarkt, a significant increase from the six-million-euro valuation recorded when he arrived in Italy, as reported by AS. Over the span of forty-three days, Ramón recorded five goals across club and international duty, including strikes for Spain’s under-21 side against Finland and San Marino, followed by goals against Manchester United and Torino at club level. OKDiario noted that his goal against Manchester United during a European fixture highlighted his capacity to contribute in both penalty boxes while maintaining passing distribution from the back.

Defensive metrics and passing accuracy under Fàbregas

Ramón leads Serie A defenders with thirty-five won aerial duels and fifty-seven total duels won, according to AS. In addition to his defensive presence, he has recorded five hundred seventy-seven successful passes in the Italian top flight with a 91.7 percent completion rate, ranking second among league defenders in successful distribution. In the UEFA Champions League, he has accumulated two hundred sixteen successful passes at a 92.7 percent accuracy rate. OKDiario added that the defender has played every minute of Como’s opening three European fixtures, registering nine tackles and twenty-six ball recoveries alongside a 93.67 percent passing accuracy in continental competition.

Real Madrid retention rights and international ambitions

Real Madrid sold the defender to Como in the summer of 2025 after he developed through their youth academy starting in 2013, though the club retained a 50 percent future sale clause alongside buyback options for 2027 and 2028, according to OKDiario. While Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea monitor his progress, Ramón has concentrated on his performances for Como and his progression toward the senior Spain national team. AS reported that Luis de la Fuente is tracking the defender’s development as he competes within a Spanish central defensive pool that includes Aymeric Laporte, Pau Cubarsí, Dean Huijsen, and Robin Le Normand.

Next fixtures for Como in domestic and European competition
