Report Chelsea interested in Ramon after impressive Como campaign

Como are not just buying players, but fending off sales too, as Chelsea are reportedly interested in Jacobo Ramon, while Lecce and Brest want Andrea Le Borgne.

The Lariani truly have shaken up the Calcio scene within the space of two years, going from Serie B to qualifying for the Champions League under coach Cesc Fabregas.

They are therefore eager to improve the squad, but there are also some of their players who have caught the eye of other sides.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea have set their sights on defender Jacobo Ramon, the 21-year-old Spanish talent who came up through the Real Madrid youth academy.

Como paid just €2.5m to pick him up last summer, and he played 37 games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, also scoring two goals from central defence.

While his value has sky-rocketed, Como would owe Real Madrid 50 per cent of his future sale fee, while the Merengues also have a buy-back option.

It was at the Real Madrid youth academy in 2018-19 that new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso first worked with Ramon, so he is eager for a reunion.

Meanwhile, transfer pundit Ben Jacobs claims that Lecce and Brest are both showing interest in Como midfielder Andrea Le Borgne, who spent this season on loan in Serie B with Avellino.

His asking price would be in the region of €4-5m.
