Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid announced a first team transfer through its official website and social media account on X at the turn of a new month.

“Real Madrid C. F. and Como 1907 have reached an agreement for the transfer of our player Jacobo Ramon,” a statement on the matter began.

Madrid explained how Jacobo arrived at the club at the age of eight when he joined its La Fabrica academy. Since then, he became a regular fixture in youth teams before being promoted to the Castilla reserve outfit last season.

A part of the U18 team that won the treble in 2022/2023, he made his debut with Carlo Ancelotti’s first team in 2025, though unfortunately no major silverware was forthcoming in that campaign with the Italian now replaced by Xabi Alonso.

For Spain’s U19’s, though, Ramon won the Euros in 2024, and he was thanked by Madrid for his “commitment and dedication during the time he has belonged to Real Madrid”, which wished “him and his family all the best in this new stage of his life”.

Madrid didn’t give any details of the transfer in its correspondence. According to MARCA, though, Como has agreed to pay €2.5 million for 50% of his rights, with Madrid reserving the right to buy him back at the end of the next upcoming three seasons.

We’ve been here before with Nico Paz, who Como, managed by FC Barcelona and Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas, snapped up and took from the Spanish capital in similar circumstances last summer.

As part of a $6.7 million (€6 million) agreement, Madrid also retained 50% of his rights of the Argentine midfield playmaker according to MARCA, and there have already been rumors that Los Blancos will bring him back to the Bernabeu.

Doing this, and being a La Fabrica product that is sold elsewhere but then returns to Madrid after kicking on, is known as completing the “Carvajal route”, after legendary right back Dani Carvajal did it more than a decade ago via Bayer Leverkusen.

It now remains to be seen who if either of them, follows his footsteps between Paz and Ramon.

It was going to be difficult for Ramon to get minutes at Real Madrid

With the likes of Dean Huijsen, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba in his way, it was always going to be hard for Ramon to get minutes at Real Madrid making a transfer a wise move for his development.
