Liverpool have chance to steal 'fantastic' star from Real Madrid

Liverpool have chance to steal 'fantastic' star from Real Madrid Andoni Iraola may only be a few months into his role as Liverpool's manager but, he's already doing a fairly impressive job. The Spaniard's team are still unbeaten across all competitions and, even though we're in an international break at the moment, his impact has been made clear. Even just the fact that he's including some of Liverpool's youngsters as a regular part of his first-team squad is a massive step in the right direction. By doing this, he's allowed players such as Trey Nyoni , James McConnell and Rio Ngumoha to take on a more involved role and will probably massively help them with their development. However, as with all clubs, Liverpool are always looking for ways to improve and now, the Reds may have stumbled across the perfect way for them to do that. Jacobo Ramon rejected Real Madrid in the summer for more game time with Como, Liverpool can offer him that Throughout the summer, many different players were linked with Liverpool. This was because they had many areas among their ranks that needed upgrading, especially after they finished fifth in the Premier League last term. Liverpool's defence was one of their main concerns which is why Jeremy Jacquet and Ronald Araujo ended up being brought in . And, while both of them did well, the Reds still seem to be on the lookout for another player or two. Jacobo Ramon was one of the other options that Liverpool explored over the summer and now, it's been revealed by Diario AS that, despite Real Madrid attempting to re-sign him from Como last term, the Spaniard rejected their advances in return for more game time with Como. "His rapid adaptation to elite football, coupled with his exponential rise in form in recent months, has led those at Valdebebas to seriously consider his return next season," they wrote . "However, according to AS, Jacobo is not considering a return to Real Madrid . At least not for now, because although the player feels like a Madridista, his priority is to play and feel important wherever he is. "Last summer, Real Madrid offered to buy him back to be the team's fourth-choice center-back, but Jacobo rejected the proposal. Once the current season ends, Real Madrid could have him back for €9 million. "However, just as with Nico Paz, the final decision will depend on the academy graduate, who finds himself in a situation quite similar to the one the Argentine faced exactly a year ago." Jacobo Ramon would definitely get playing time at Liverpool next season At the moment, Virgil van Dijk and Jacquet are Liverpool's two main starting centre-backs. However, with Van Dijk's contract set to expire at the end of the current season, it's unclear what his future holds. Liverpool also signed Araujo in the summer but, since he's only on a season-long loan deal, there's no guarantee that his option to buy will be activated by Liverpool. So, with all of this in mind, it's clear that Ramon would get plenty of game time. Indeed, Giovanni Leoni will probably want to try and make a case to become a starter but, even if that did happen, Joe Gomez is also very likely to leave in the summer with his contract set to expire in June 2027. It's unclear how much a deal for Ramon would cost Liverpool but, statistically, he looks like he'd be a solid acquisition and, since he's only 21 years old, the " fantastic " defender could grow and become an even better player in the future. Which, for Liverpool, is exactly what they'd want to happen.
