CHELSEA AND LIVERPOOL BATTLE FOR JACOBO RAMóN AS REAL MADRID CLAUSE LOOMS
Jacobo Ramón is a top target for Chelsea and Liverpool! Discover how Real Madrid’s buy-back clause complicates this €18m transfer.
The modern transfer market never really follows a straight line, and Jacobo Ramón’s story at Como shows just how long a club’s influence can hang around, even after a player leaves. Caught Offside reports that the 21-year-old centre back has become one of the most-watched defenders this winter. Chelsea and Liverpool are keeping close tabs, but everyone knows Real Madrid still holds the real power.
When Ramón left Madrid for Como last summer, most people saw it as a chance for him to grow, get some games, take on some responsibility, and find his feet away from the Bernabeu. Instead, he’s blown up faster than anyone expected. He didn’t just settle in—he’s become a regular starter, standing out for his calm on the ball, smart positioning, and the kind of technical quality that works just about anywhere.
Premier League clubs are circling. Since December, agents say Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool have all been tracking Ramón. Newcastle, Brighton, and Crystal Palace have sent scouts to watch him up close. It’s obvious what they see: even at 21, he looks comfortable running a defence, stepping into midfield, and sniffing out danger before it happens.
Chelsea likes him as a long-term project—he fits their whole youth-first approach. Liverpool’s interest is more about style. Ramón is quick, calm, and good under pressure, perfect for a system that needs defenders who can handle wide-open spaces and push the line up.
But any move comes with a web of complications. Ramón’s under contract at Como until 2030, and Madrid made sure they didn’t really let go. They put in an €8 million buy-back clause and a 50 per cent sell-on clause. So Madrid can either bring him back for cheap or cash in if he moves somewhere else.
His market value sits around €18 million, but for Premier League clubs, that number could climb fast. Madrid can buy him back and flip him right away, and Como will want a fee that reflects both his performances and potential.
So, the real question isn’t who wants him—it’s what Madrid wants to do. If they think Ramón’s ready, they can bring him back now. If not, they still get half the fee from any other club.
For Chelsea and Liverpool, that means waiting. He’s a tempting option for January, but Madrid’s control makes this more of a long-term chess game.
From Chelsea’s side, Ramón looks like exactly the kind of defender they like—young, skilled, and adaptable. Fans will be excited about the idea of getting ahead of the pack, not waiting until he’s a star in England. But there’s a catch. With so many young defenders already at the club, supporters might wonder if there’s a real plan for him—or if he’s just another asset, brought in because the opportunity was there.
Liverpool fans see things differently. They value defenders who think fast and play forward, and Ramón ticks those boxes. They trust the recruitment team not to overpay, especially with Madrid lurking in the background. Most fans get that this is probably one to watch, not one to force. If Liverpool goes for him, they’ll want it to be a smart, strategic move—not a rushed January deal dictated by messy clauses and outside pressure.
10-WEEK WAIT: WHAT DID BILLY GILMOUR DO DURING HIS LONG RECOVERY PERIOD IN LONDON?
Billy Gilmour is back: Analyse his return against Roma and the latest news on Scott McTominay's new 2030 Napoli contract talks.
Billy Gilmour couldn’t hide his excitement after finally shaking off his injury. Those ten weeks on the sidelines felt like forever, honestly.
He made his return on Sunday, stepping onto the pitch for the first time since November 1. Gilmour came on with just 11 minutes left in Napoli’s 2-2 draw against Roma and didn’t waste any time; he played a key pass that set up Alisson Santos’ equaliser only three minutes after coming on.
Gilmour, who used to run the midfield for Chelsea and Brighton, had been part of the Scotland squad that booked a spot at next summer’s World Cup in North America. Still, he missed those crucial games against Greece and Denmark and ended up needing surgery for a hernia right after.
While he was out, things got rough for Napoli. They slipped out of the title race and crashed out early from both the Champions League and Coppa Italia.
But for Gilmour, just being back on the pitch meant everything. He posted on Instagram: “First steps in 2026. There’s no better feeling than being on the pitch and doing it in front of your fans! It’s been a long 10 weeks; now I’m back doing what I love with this team. Forza Napoli Sempre!”
In other news, Scott McTominay, Gilmour’s teammate for both club and country, is in talks over a new Napoli contract. Since joining Manchester United for £27.5 million a year and a half ago, McTominay’s been a game-changer, banging in 12 goals during Napoli’s title run and picking up the league’s player of the year award.
He’s missed the last couple of matches but looks set to return against Atalanta on Sunday. With two and a half years left on his current deal, Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport says his agent and the club are already discussing improved terms.
NAPLES OR MANCHESTER? SCOTT MCTOMINAY’S AGENT HOLDS CRITICAL CONTRACT TALKS WITH NAPOLI
Scott McTominay's agent is in Naples! Discover the details of the 2030 contract offer and why Manchester United want him back now.
Scott McTominay’s team has sat down with Napoli’s sporting director, Giovanni Manna, to talk about a possible contract extension at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. After 22 years at Manchester United, McTominay, now 29, made a £25.7 million move to Naples in August 2024.
He wasted no time making an impact. In his first season with Napoli, he played a key role as they clinched their second Serie A title in three years. He didn’t just help them win; he was named the league’s MVP. McTominay racked up 12 goals and six assists during that title run.
He’s kept up that form this season, too. So far, he’s scored 10 goals and picked up four assists across Serie A and the Champions League. Lately, though, he’s missed the last two matches, including Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Roma, after picking up an injury in the win over Genoa on February 7.
Even with him sidelined, there’s plenty of talk about his future in Naples. Corriere dello Sport says Napoli is already working on a new, improved contract for McTominay, who’s signed until 2028, after his standout first 18 months in Italy.
Antonio Conte’s side wants to keep him at the club until at least 2030. Reports say McTominay’s agent has flown to Naples for talks, and negotiations with Manna about the new deal are already underway.
So far, they haven’t hammered out the details on salary. But after proving himself as one of Serie A’s best, McTominay is set for a pay bump.
All this talk about a new deal comes just days after rumours surfaced about Manchester United being in the mix for McTominay’s return. Tuttomercatoweb reported on Friday that he’s considering heading back to the Premier League in 2026, with United leading the chase.
Supposedly, he and his girlfriend Cam Reading are thinking about a move home, and it sounds like a Premier League return could happen sooner rather than later.
Napoli’s global business development officer, Leonardo Giammarioli, spoke about the transfer buzz last week. He told talkSPORT the club is trying to fend off interest from other teams.
“Yeah, of course I’m worried,” he said. “But honestly, especially with Scott, he’s a great guy, we’d be happy if he reaches the next level in a couple of years. Maybe not now, maybe not next year, but he deserves it.
“Look at Stuttgart, they wanted to keep Nick Woltemade, but when Newcastle offered £65 million, there’s not much you can do. If the player wants to go and the money’s right, it’s tough for Italian clubs. The league keeps losing revenue.”
