Jacobo Ramon is one of the prized pieces of this Como team, which is surprising everyone both in the championship and in the Champions League. This season he is confirming all his qualities. His performance is always at high levels: in 10 appearances he has also scored 2 goals. In Europe he has always been on the pitch, even enjoying the satisfaction of scoring a goal in the 4-1 home win against Manchester United. In short, another great operation in perspective for Como, who purchased him in July 2025 for 2.5 million euros from Real Madrid, who however retained 50% on future resale. Como is aware that its enormous growth has sparked great attention from many clubs. In reality, the only real great danger comes from the parent company itself, which at the time of the sale also included a buy-back clause valid until the summer of 2028. Real Madrid has already expressed its intention to bring him back to base for an already set figure of 9 million euros. In short, the long match with Como has already begun in the sense that a similar situation already occurred with Nico Paz and then in the end we know how it went. And maybe the same thing could happen with him too. A concept also expressed yesterday in the pre-match against Venezia by Cesc Fabregas. Meanwhile, Ramon enjoys this magical moment, knowing that whatever happens, his future is assured. And the feeling is that Como can still play its cards.
A beautiful goal and the cross from which the 2-1 by Andre Pinamonti was born: the smiling face of the attacker took the covers of Lazio's success against Genoa, but there is a lot, a lot of Gustav Isaksen in the Biancocelesti's solo first place. We are in the third Italian season of the Dane, who arrived in the Italian capital from Midtjylland in the summer of 2023. And the one seen so far is certainly the best Isaksen seen in a blue and white shirt. Free of mind, decisive and incisive. This is demonstrated first of all by the numbers: his record in a season in Serie A is 5 goals, scored last year, with one assist, in 30 days. Well, with Gattuso he already has 4 goals and an assist in 10 games. But as we were saying regarding Pinamonti's goal, his contribution goes beyond the numbers in terms of goals and assists and in fact, after the initial alternation, Gattuso no longer removed him from the trio up front.
And now the attention also shifts to his contract, which is not so far from expiring: the current agreement runs until 30 June 2028. The club and the player's entourage are already working to extend the deadline and avoid other soap operas like the recent ones involving other players: the deal is to have the boy sign until 2030. If Lazio soars in the standings, the club certainly doesn't want to be caught unprepared for the January market, when a couple of grafts could further help Gattuso pursue goals that were unthinkable until a few weeks ago. In recent weeks, the Biancocelesti scouts have been busy observing the classy Ante Simovic, a Croatian central defender born in 2009 with a modern profile and great prospect. Compared in terms of technical characteristics to a young David Alaba, he stands out for his excellent left foot, excellent individual technique and a speed that allows him to recover ground easily. Equipped with a great personality with the ball at his feet, he loves to advance and actively participate in the maneuver, making him a dynamic and proactive defender, capable of skipping the first pressure with quality.
Milan is not only exploring the path that leads to Goncalo Inacio for the defense and also continues to monitor other profiles, including that of Massire Sylla, central defender of Union Saint-Gilloise who has a contract expiring in 2030 and at just 21 years of age is demonstrating that he can take on many other stages, given the extraordinary continuity of performance he has had in Belgium up to this moment. Matteo Moretto reports it.
FENERBAHÇE, THERE IS NO AGREEMENT WITH CONCEICAO YET FOR THE BENCH. THE POINT OF THE SITUATION. LIVERPOOL IN THE HUNT FOR VAN DIJK'S HEIR: MURILLO AND SCHLOTTERBECK ALSO IN THE FIGHTS. ARSENAL, RAYA CONFIRMS HIMSELF AT VERY HIGH LEVELS: THE CLUB READY TO EXTEND HIM'S CONTRACT. Contrary to what was reported by the Turkish media, Sergio Conceiçao's arrival in Türkiye does not appear to be imminent. According to what was gathered by the editorial team of Tuttomercatoweb.com, in fact, the agreement between the Lusitanian coach, fresh from his farewell to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, has not yet been found despite recent contacts and a proposal already made towards the former Milan player. The absence of an agreement therefore postpones Conceiçao's arrival in Istanbul with the coach who has not yet booked any flights to Turkey and is waiting to understand if the agreement will be made or if everything is destined to fall apart despite what has emerged in the last few hours.
Against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday, therefore Dirk Kuyt could still be on the bench, having been appointed on an interim basis after Kartal's resignation from the position. We remind you that the other names linked to the Turkish club in these hours are those of Julian Nagelsmann, Roberto Martinez, José Luis Mendilibar and Ernesto Valverde.
Liverpool continue to search for Virgil van Dijk's heir ahead of next season. In fact, the Dutch centre-back's contract is expiring and so far he has not received any offer to renew it, which therefore suggests a farewell at the end of the year for the class of '91 who arrived at Liverpool in 2018. According to what was reported by the English media, the club is actively monitoring two profiles in particular: the Brazilian Murillo, born in 2002 and linked to Nottingham Forest until 2030, and Nico Schlotterbeck, born in '99 at Borussia Dortmund to whom he is linked until 2030. 2031. The latter in particular would be the player on which the Reds management is focusing most, so much so that contacts with the Germans and the agents of the central defender himself could be intensified in the coming weeks.
In recent weeks, strong interest had also emerged in Luka Vuskovic, born in 2007 and who arrived at Brighton from Hamburg last summer. The Croatian, who already boasts 10 appearances for the senior national team, has already taken the field on 13 occasions in various competitions at the start of the season, attracting the attention of several clubs who are monitoring him carefully. Vuskovic could therefore become a Liverpool target for next summer even if the Seagulls have already made it known that they can only open to a transfer in the face of an offer of 100 million pounds.
Although in the Spanish national team he comes after Unai Simon in coach De La Fuente's hierarchies, for Arsenal David Raya is not only an undisputed starter, but also one of the strong points that led the Gunners to win the Premier League title and reach the Champions League final last year. This year too, the Iberian goalkeeper got off to a great start, playing at very high levels, so much so that it pushed Arsenal to want to lock him down even more closely despite the never hidden desire of the class of '95 to play in LaLiga. According to what was reported by Football Insider, the London club would in fact be ready to extend Raya's contract expiring in 2028 by a further year. Also a way to ward off possible transfer sirens.
