Former Real Madrid defender’s potential return will be sorted in March-April as Mourinho talks await

Former Real Madrid defender’s potential return will be sorted in March-April as Mourinho talks await Real Madrid are expected to consider bringing Jacobo Ramon back to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer, with the club continuing to monitor the young centre-back’s development.  However, despite growing speculation about his future, the defender has not yet discussed a potential return with manager Jose Mourinho, according to reports. As reported by MARCA , the decision is not expected to be made immediately, and the situation should become clearer between March and April 2027, when Real Madrid can assess Ramon’s progress and decide how to proceed with their contractual option. Real Madrid can bring Ramon back for less than €9 million Notably, the financial terms make the defender an attractive option for Los Blancos , as Real Madrid retained a buy-back mechanism when Ramon joined Como in 2025, allowing them to regain his services for a fee below €9 million. Transfer journalist Matteo Moretto has indicated that the club’s intention is to activate that option and bring the 21-year-old back to Real Madrid.  Explaining the potential cost and the club’s thinking, he said: “Madrid knows they can re-sign him for less than nine million, which is a very low price.  Real Madrid are interested in bringing back Jacobo Ramon.

Mourinho has yet to discuss Ramon’s future Despite the intention to bring him back, there has been no direct conversation between Ramon and Mourinho about what a return would mean for his career. Moretto clarified that the defender has not spoken to the Real Madrid manager and that the situation is unlikely to be settled until the final stages of the current season. “Jacobo hasn’t spoken with Mourinho yet; this will be resolved between March and April,” he noted.

Premier League interest could influence Real Madrid’s decision A return to the Santiago Bernabeu would not automatically mean Ramon becomes part of Mourinho’s senior plans.  Rather, Real Madrid could exercise their buy-back option before considering a transfer elsewhere, potentially allowing them to secure a higher fee from an interested club. The Premier League is emerging as a possible destination, with several English sides reportedly monitoring his progress.  Moretto believes that bringing Ramon back before deciding his next step remains the most likely scenario. “The normal thing is for Real Madrid to sign him back, and we’ll see if he stays in the first team or moves to another league like the Premier League, where there are many interested teams,” Moretto concluded.
