  "account": "Real Madrid is mulling the possibility of recalling former defender Jacobo Ramon for the 2026 season. The Spanish giants have activated an €8-9 million buy-back option for the centre-back, as reported by Madrid Xtra. This move comes as Antonio Rudiger's contract is set to expire at the end of the season, creating a potential opening for Ramon. Initially, Ramon left Madrid to join Como due to Rudiger's contract extension, which ran until 2027. With Rudiger now free, Real Madrid's interest in bringing Ramon back has resurfaced. The club had previously sold Ramon to Como in 2025 for €2.5 million, retaining a buy-back clause. This clause provides Real Madrid with three options: one in 2026 for €8 million, another in 2027, and a third in 2028. The existence of a cheaper clause gives Madrid flexibility in reassessing their centre-back options next summer. However, the final decision will depend on Ramon's development at Como and the club's need for experienced defenders.",
