Ancelotti praised Ramon at the end of last term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a player who can be like Ra\u00fal Asencio. We consider him that way. He had long injuries.

Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say <\/p>\n<p>Ramon is a defender with huge potential, and he\u2019s thriving under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, who bought Ramon for just \u00a32m from Real Madrid in the summer. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caughtoffside.com\/2026\/01\/11\/sources-chelsea-liverpool-target-spanish-star\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Caught Offside<\/a> say he\u2019s worth \u00a316m.<\/p>\n<p>But if Real Madrid are interested in re-signing Ramon from Como in due course, they will only have to spend around \u00a37m to get Ramon. Regardless, a \u00a316m fee could be incredibly cheap given Ramon\u2019s hype.<\/p>\n<p>As things stand however, any business Chelsea are expected to do this month looks more likely to be outgoings. Axel Disasi and Raheem Sterling will certainly be at the top of the potential departures.<\/p>\n<p>  Join Our Newsletter <\/p>\n<p>Receive a digest of our best Chelsea content each week direct to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If Liam Rosenior is to consider bringing any new signings to Chelsea this month, the chances are it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[111028,218,139922,101,110,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-365720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-carlo-ancelotti","tag-football","tag-jacobo-ramon","tag-sports","tag-transfer-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
