According to reports from Sports Boom, both Premier League sides are keen, but any move is tied up in a major knot.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transfer news: Arsenal and Chelsea are both keeping a close watch on Jacobo Ramon Naveros<\/h2>\n<p>Real Madrid still hold an \u20ac8 million buy-back clause. This gives Los Blancos total control over where he goes this summer. Como are holding out for a fee between \u20ac45 million and \u20ac50 million, and since Madrid haven\u2019t tipped their hand yet, his future heading into the 2026\/27 season is still very much up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Ramon\u2019s stats from 30 Serie A appearances, it\u2019s easy to see why he\u2019s in demand. He helped keep a clean sheet in nearly half of his games and wins a staggering 96% of his aerial battles. He only concedes a goal every 111 minutes on average, and his ability to clear the ball and block shots puts him among the best in the league. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Ramon hasn\u2019t given away a single penalty all year. That said, his ground duels and tackle numbers are more good than great, suggesting he can sometimes be bullied in physical, one-on-one scraps, which is a potential red flag for the intensity of the Premier League.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would Ramon actually get regular football at Arsenal or Chelsea?<\/h2>\n<p>Transfer News: This is the question both clubs have to be honest about. Arsenal are already stacked with defensive options, and Chelsea\u2019s habit of rotating players has left several recent signings stuck on the sidelines. At 21, Ramon needs to be starting every week, not just filling a spot in a massive squad. If neither London club can promise him minutes, a move now might actually hurt his development. The smartest play for Arsenal or Chelsea is to only pull the trigger if they have a genuine spot for him in the XI; a player with his ceiling belongs on the pitch, not the bench.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<!-- Article End --><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-author\">\n<div class=\"c-author__avatar\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/aacadf3e95bfb01ce13b429dee6bd0a5e90e6507900d73b4a9224a6381a644be?s=75&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-author__thumb\" alt=\"Photo of Rohit Sarkar\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n<h3 class=\"c-author__name\">Rohit Sarkar<\/h3>\n<div class=\"c-author__bio\">\n<p>Rohit Sarkar is a passionate writer with a deep love for multiple sports, but his favourites are football and cricket.
