Last summer, Real Madrid made the decision to sell young central defender Jacobo Ramon to Serie A side Como<\/a>. The La Fabrica talent was not considered to be at the required level to remain at the Bernabeu, which is why he left for Italy.<\/p>\n

As per Diario AS<\/a>, Ramon reflected on his Real Madrid exit when speaking to Como\u2019s media channels this week. He admitted that it was a decision that he thought long and hard about.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that it is not easy to say goodbye to what has been my home for so long. I thought about everything, everything I had done in Madrid, my career and the many years I spent there, but I also felt that the right time had come to take the next step and come to Como. And I\u2019m very happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramon also spoke on his best moment in a Real Madrid jersey, which was scoring a late winner against Mallorca<\/a> towards the back-end of last season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first image that comes to mind when I remember the goal against Mallorca coincides with the image of the fans, everyone, all the fans screaming and jumping. I was very excited to have scored my first goal. Then I also imagined my parents, my whole family, very happy for me. I remember it as a unique and very special day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramon has been linked with an immediate return to Real Madrid<\/a>, who are looking to sign a centre-back this summer. However, he\u2019s made it clear that he is very comfortable with life at Como.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people are super friendly, they have treated me very well since I arrived here. The city, the lake, everything is very beautiful. And the team is amazing too. I\u2019m very happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last summer, Real Madrid made the decision to sell young central defender Jacobo Ramon to Serie A side…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":477871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-477870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
