Brighton & Hove Albion have sent scouts to watch Como's 21-year-old Spanish centre-back Jacobo Ramon. Several other Premier League clubs are also watching him. Newcastle and Crystal Palace have also sent scouts, while Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool have been watching the defender since the start of December and were reportedly impressed. Sources have confirmed Chelsea's interest. The club faces competition from five other Premier League clubs in total. Any potential deal is complicated by Real Madrid, who included a buyback option when they sold Ramon to the Serie A club, meaning his future will be decided in the Spanish capital. Ramon, who has two caps for Spain U21, joined Como from Real Madrid in July 2025 for a reported €2.5 million, with the deal including an €8 million buy-back clause and rights to 50% of a future sale for the Spanish club. He has made 16 appearances and scored 2 goals in Serie A this season, and his current Transfermarkt market value is listed at €18.00m.
