Como use Nico Paz as inspiration as club eye move for another Real Madrid starlet

Como are near an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Spanish centre-back Jacobo Ramon, reports from Italy claim, as Cesc Fabregas’ side look to try and emulate the formula that allowed them to sign starlet Nico Paz.

According to what has been reported by TuttoMercatoWeb, talks are well underway over a potential move for the tall defender after the 20-year-old made his first appearances for the La Liga giants in the 2024-25 campaign.

Como look to Nico Paz for inspiration in pursuit of Ramon

Nico Paz signed for Como from Real Madrid last summer of a modest fee of €6 million, with the La Liga side retaining a buy-back clause until 2027.

Since arriving in Italy, the Argentine has been somewhat of a standout player for Como. In 35 appearances in Serie A last season, the forward scored six goals and assisted a further nine.

Now, Fabregas’ side will look to wrap up a deal for Ramon – on a similar formula to that which saw Paz join the Italian outfit. He will join on a permanent basis but one in which Madrid will retain the right to buy the player back for a specified period.
