on thursday, sports witness Tuttomercatoweb’s claims about Newcastle United and Aston Villa’s interest in Como’s Jacobo Ramon covered.
Both Premier League teams are said to be monitoring the young defender, who is arguably one of the best in his position in Serie A.
He joined Real Madrid in the summer and it didn’t take him long to adapt to the Italian game. Under Cesc Fabregas, he has impressed with his ball-playing ability and recovery speed.
Interest from Newcastle United and Aston Villa attracted attention and Fàbregas was asked about Ramon’s future. He appeared to be firm on his stance, expressing a positive opinion of the Spaniard.
Newcastle and Aston Villa may have no chance
The questioning came during Como’s pre-game press conference ahead of the match against Cagliari. Fabregas made it clear that Ramon is not going anywhere and will remain at the club after this season.
Ex-Arsenal player says interest doesn’t surprise him – via tutomercatoweb: : “He [interest] I am not surprised. He was a perfect fit for our game. The only doubt we had was whether he could compete in Italian football, how he would adapt to a game like his, which is so competitive. “He has raised his level a lot, but he doesn’t surprise me with the ball.”
Fabregas also seemed surprised by Ramon’s progress and gave insight into his future.
“I knew he was that type of player, but there are some players who surprise you a little bit in some contexts. But this is different; there are some players who are made of different things. Will he be there next year? Yes.”
The same report praises the ex-Los Blancos talent but also cautions against adding Real Madrid to the race. This is because Ramon has a buyback clause in his contract and this is likely to cause problems for many suitors.
Analysis: Players’ enthusiasm outweighs actual transfer
Considering the 21-year-old’s qualities, he would be a good signing for any club – and that includes Newcastle United or Aston Villa.
But knowing Como, ideally they would keep him around for longer. They did it for Nico Paz and Assane Diao and they should do the same for Martin Baturina. Unlike other Serie A teams, they do not lack finances and this helps them to have a strong position in the market.
Furthermore, mentioning English clubs is also an excellent way to establish the market value of their players. He has done this for all the above mentioned players. Looks like they’re working with Ramon again.
