“Yes,” ruling out an immediate return to the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid still hold a buy-back clause on the defender, similar to the agreement they have in place for Nico Paz, allowing them to re-sign him within the next three years.

However, Ramón currently appears fully committed to life in Italy, where he has become an important figure in Como’s remarkable rise.

Reflecting on the season, the defender described the achievement as unforgettable. He admitted it felt like “a dream” and said qualifying for Europe matched the emotion of scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu for Real Madrid.

He also praised manager Cesc Fàbregas for his influence, highlighting his leadership and team spirit.

“He has made us feel like a family,” Ramón said, crediting the unity and sacrifice within the squad as key to their success.
