Real Madrid Target Alaba Replacement in Former Youth Star

Real Madrid are reportedly considering bringing back former academy product Jacobo Ramón as a replacement for David Alaba, who is approaching the end of his time at the club.

Real Madrid are preparing for a defensive overhaul this summer, with David Alaba reportedly approaching the final chapter of his time at the club. Persistent injury issues have affected the Austrian defender's form and standing, prompting the club to explore replacement options.

According to reports, Real Madrid are considering re-signing Jacobo Ramón, a former youth team product who left last summer to join Como. The club holds buyback clauses in his contract, starting at €8 million if exercised this season, increasing to €9 million in 2027 and €10 million in 2028.
