According to The Athletic, Jacobo Ramon has been a standout performer in his first training session in the United States of America, impressing the management with his speed and footwork.
This strong start leaves him with multiple opportunities during the ongoing tour, where he could prove his talent under pressure and secure a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.
While Jacob Ramon is a top contender, the coaching staff still prefer Aurelien Tchouameni as the first-choice backup centre-back in emergencies, given his previous successful performances in that role.
