Arsenal among clubs watching Como's Jacobo Ramón
Written on 29 Oct 2026 at below 5%. The ring above is live.
The situation
Arsenal are among the clubs watching Jacobo Ramón, the 21-year-old Spanish centre-back whose form at Como has turned heads in Serie A. Manchester United are circling too, and that is where the story sits today: interest, nothing firmer. Como are under no pressure to sell. The former Real Madrid youngster has a contract running until 30 June 2030, and the Italian side are asking €45m, well above the roughly €30m he is valued at. No bid has been lodged, no talks are under way.
The reporting
The link comes from a single source. CaughtOffside carried it on 29 October 2026 and are the only ones on file to have reported it, which means this rests on one outlet with a poor track record. There is no corroboration from a second voice. Treat it as a thin thread rather than a developing story.
The outlook
This is a long shot. For it to gain any traction, Arsenal would need to close the gap between Como's €45m demand and the player's market value, and do so against competition from Manchester United who are watching just as closely. With 42 months left on his deal when the January window opens, Como hold every card. Nothing about the current state suggests movement.
The context
Arsenal have shopped in this bracket before. They paid €26m for Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães from Lille in 2020 and €27m for Kieran Tierney from Celtic in 2019, both defenders. Como's €45m ask sits comfortably above those benchmarks.
What to watch
Watch for a second reliable source to pick this up, or a first concrete bid. Until one of those lands, this stays a whisper. The January window opens on 1 January 2027.
Jacobo Ramón’s real transfer fees, for context, not a prediction.
