Chelsea targets Jacobo Ramon as Real Madrid strengthens defense

Summary

Chelsea is reportedly interested in signing center-back Jacobo Ramon from Como as Real Madrid enhances its defense for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Real Madrid has secured the additions of Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konate, and Denzel Dumfries while renewing Antonio Rudiger’s contract. Despite Chelsea's interest, Ramon's preference appears to be remaining at Como, especially as they prepare for UEFA Champions League competition. Real Madrid holds 50% rights to Ramon, which complicates any potential transfer this summer. The situation remains dynamic as both clubs evaluate their options moving forward.
