Who is Jacobo Ramón? Age, club, position and stats

Jacobo Ramón Naveros, born in Madrid on 6 January 2005, is a 6ft 5in Spanish centre-back and a regular starter for Como. The 21-year-old arrived from Real Madrid in the summer of 2025 and, as of 11 November 2026, has three goals across Serie A and the Champions League in a season in which he has barely been rested.

Who is Jacobo Ramón?

Ramón is a product of Real Madrid’s academy who moved through the Under-19s, the C team and Castilla before making six senior appearances for the club’s first team, one of which brought a goal. He was part of the squad that won the 2024 UEFA Super Cup, then left for Como in July 2025. According to press reports, Madrid sold him for around €2.5m while retaining a 50 per cent sell-on and three buy-back options, with the buy-back price quoted anywhere between €8m and €10m. Those numbers come from media reports rather than from the clubs, but they explain why his next move will be about more than the player’s own preferences.

The move has become a fast-track example of the “Italian finishing school” model Madrid have used before. Como, under Cesc Fàbregas this season, have given him the kind of minutes that a Castilla centre-back could not have counted on.

Where does Ramón play and what is his profile?

He is a right-footed centre-back, listed purely as a central defender on FotMob, standing 1.95m according to Wikipedia (FM27 says 196cm). His tracked top speed in the Champions League is 31.85 km/h, which is not elite but suggests he is not a liability in space. We do not have verified information on Como’s exact back-line structure, so the idea that he is best deployed in a four or a three remains an inference.

2026/27 form against last season

In Serie A he has played 11 games, started nine, logged 931 minutes and scored twice with no assists, carrying an average FotMob rating of 7.49. His European numbers are where the profile becomes more interesting: UEFA data show four appearances, 360 minutes, one goal and two assists, 93 per cent pass accuracy (291 of 313), 22 passes into the attacking third, nine tackles and 34 balls recovered, plus 10 of 13 clearances completed.

The match references are concrete. He scored in Como’s 4-1 Champions League win over Manchester United on 21 October, then again in the 3-1 Serie A win at Torino on 27 October. He supplied an assist in the Champions League game at Lens and another against Feyenoord. For comparison, in 2025/26 he made 32 Serie A appearances with 30 starts, 2,743 minutes, two goals and no assists, along with five Coppa Italia games, so he has already matched last season’s goal total in the first eleven league games, which is worth noting with the usual caveat that a centre-back’s goal output is a noisy metric. His discipline record last season, 11 yellow cards and a red, is the more consistent warning sign.

Career path and international record

Ramón’s youth record is decorated: he won the 2024 European Under-19 Championship with Spain, and has Spain U21 appearances since 2025 (FotMob lists five games and two goals; Wikipedia, which may be behind, lists three). He was named in the 2025-26 Serie A Team of the Season. On the senior side, FotMob links him to Spain’s senior setup from October 2026 without listing a cap, and Wikipedia shows none, so we record zero senior caps as the last verifiable figure.

How does he play?

The data describe a centre-back who contributes through ball progression as much as through duels. A 93 per cent pass completion across 313 passes in four Champions League matches, with 22 forward balls into the final third, points to a significant role in build-up, although we could not find a breakdown separating short circulation from longer diagonals. His 34 recoveries over four games suggest he is active in second-ball situations and in covering behind a pressing line. Strengths are size, aerial presence, secure passing and consistent availability; areas to monitor are discipline and how he handles quick wide players when the line is pulled up.

How does he look in Football Manager 2027?

Football Manager 2027 shows Ramón as a right-footed centre-back at Como with a current ability of 147, potential of 169 and an in-game valuation of £113m. This is game data, not a real-world performance indicator or a real transfer price; it simply confirms that the game’s database rates him as a high-potential defender.

Could he suit a Turkish Süper Lig side?

A Süper Lig move is not realistic financially today. FotMob estimates his value at €48m, Madrid hold sell-on and buy-back rights, and Como have no obvious reason to sell a Champions League regular, so we are not linking him to any Anatolian club. As a pure profile, a ball-playing, aerially strong centre-back would suit a side that defends with a high line, but that assessment rests on possible tactical fit, not on any verified transfer talk.

GegenSports verdict

The data show a young centre-back who has held a regular Como place across two seasons and widened his contribution in Europe. Worth tracking: his Serie A duel and aerial numbers (not found in public sources), his discipline, and what happens with the Madrid buy-back clauses next summer.
