The young centre-back earned first-team minutes last season during an injury crisis and impressed with key performances when called upon.
Marca reports that Ramon chose Como over three Spanish suitors, becoming the latest Spaniard to join Cesc Fabregas’ Italian project.
The deal follows Real Madrid’s usual strategy: they’ll retain 50% of Ramon’s rights despite selling him for an initial €2.5 million.
Performance-related add-ons could increase the final fee, and the structure allows Los Blancos to potentially re-sign him in the future.
Ramon made six first-team appearances, including scoring a dramatic 95th-minute La Liga winner against Celta Vigo in a title push.
He also debuted in the Champions League with a 5-1 victory over RB Salzburg, cementing his place as a fan favourite briefly, reports Football Espana.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti had rated Ramon highly, ranking him above Raul Asencio before unfortunate injuries hindered his progress.
With Eder Militao and David Alaba returning, and Dean Huijsen added, Ramon’s chances of playing regularly next season were slim
