Premier League
Jacobo Ramón has entered fully into the debate about the future of the Real Madrid defense. With several key contracts close to expiring, the white club is starting to pay close attention to both the academy and the market.
The situation in defense is concerning. David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger's contracts end in 2026, and their continuity is far from guaranteed, as reported on El Chiringuito.
The defensive future planned by Real Madrid
Roncero clearly states that Real Madrid cannot afford to face the future with only three reliable center-backs in the squad. Currently, the club has Militao, Asencio, and Huijsen, but the journalist believes that this foundation is insufficient for such a demanding schedule.
The solution, according to his view, involves combining the academy and a top-tier signing to ensure long-term stability.

Jacobo Ramón, the homegrown choice
Within that plan, Como 1907's loanee, Jacobo Ramón, emerges as a key piece. The center-back, currently playing at Como 1907 this season, is leaving very positive impressions. Under the guidance of Cesc Fàbregas, the academy product is growing in maturity, leadership, and game reading, qualities that have not gone unnoticed at Valdebebas.
Roncero is clear: the return of Jacobo Ramón must become a reality to strengthen the squad with proven talent of their own.
A growth that brings optimism
Jacobo Ramón's spell in Italian football is proving crucial for his development. At Como 1907, he has found continuity and responsibility. His ability to anticipate, play out from the back, and adapt to different systems has allowed him to stand out in a very tactical league.
At Real Madrid, they particularly value that the center-back has shown his worth outside the protective environment of the academy.

The other name on the table: William Saliba
Relying solely on Jacobo Ramón would not be enough. Roncero emphasizes the need for an established center-back, and a heavyweight name emerges. The journalist points to William Saliba, Arsenal's defender, as the ideal profile to lead the white defense in the coming years.
While acknowledging the costly nature, he argues that the club must invest if it aims to ensure defensive dominance in the future.
