Tottenham battle five Premier League rivals for £2m defender, but Real Madrid have a buy-back
Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for a 21-year-old Serie A centre-back, but they face competition from a whole host of their rivals.
Radu Dragusin continues to be heavily linked with an exit from Spurs this summer, with the Romanian thought to be keen on playing regular football.
Kota Takai has joined Borussia Monchengladbach on loan, which means that Thomas Frank could be left short of options in the heart of the Spurs defence.
It has now emerged that the Lilywhites are turning their attention to a youngster who has made an impressive start to his career in Italy.
Tottenham battling several Premier League clubs for Jacobo Ramon
According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham are fans of Como’s rising star Jacobo Ramon, who has impressed since joining the club from Real Madrid in the summer.
The Spain U21 international has made 16 appearances for Como, and it is revealed that Spurs have been watching his progress closely.
However, they are not alone, with Chelsea also fans of the player and Liverpool admiring his pace and composure.
Additionally, Newcastle, Brighton, and Crystal Palace have been impressed by Ramon’s maturity and believe he can thrive in the Premier League.
Spurs face one complication in Jacobo Ramon pursuit
CaughtOffside point out that Real Madrid may have a big say in the young centre-back’s future after the La Liga giants sold Ramon to Como for just €2.5m (£2.17m).
This is because Los Blancos have a €8m (£6.9m) buy-back option and a 50% sell-on clause on Ramon, raising the possibility that they could buy him back and sell him on for a profit.
It is a similar situation to what the Lilywhites faced regarding another Como player, Nico Paz, who Real Madrid stopped Tottenham from buying last summer.
