Manchester United have intensified their interest in Como defender Jacobo Ramon, who is valued at approximately €50 million, as a potential replacement for Lisandro Martinez. The 2026-27 Serie A season has seen Ramon establish himself as a key figure in Como's backline, attracting attention from several top European clubs.
According to reports from GOAL.com, United's scouting department has been monitoring the Spanish centre-back's progress closely over recent months. The 24-year-old joined Como in 2024 and has since developed into one of the league's most reliable defenders, combining aerial strength with composure on the ball.
Lisandro Martinez's long-term injury absence has accelerated United's search for defensive reinforcements. The Argentine international suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier this campaign, leaving a significant gap in Erik ten Hag's defensive options. Ramon's profile — left-footed, comfortable in possession, and experienced in a high-pressing system — aligns closely with the tactical requirements at Old Trafford.
Negotiations are understood to be in preliminary stages, with Como under no immediate pressure to sell given the player's contract runs until 2029. However, a bid approaching the €50 million valuation could test the Italian club's resolve during the January transfer window.
