Real Madrid's made the decision to part ways with him and the agreement is completely set with another LaLiga team. We're talking about Pablo Ramón, a 23-year-old center-back, who will now play for Espanyol. This was first reported by AS and confirmed by Madrid-Barcelona, as a transfer with no money involved, closed at zero cost.
What Real Madrid has secured with Pablo Ramón is the possibility of earning money in the future. If Espanyol decides to sell him, the white club would receive half of any transfer. At 23, he'll experience LaLiga for the first time, having been loaned to Mirandés last season.
This transfer with Espanyol has been brewing since last summer, when Pablo Ramón was injured. He's currently in the final stages of recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. It'll take some time to see his best version, while the medical examination he'll undergo will be thorough to rule out any problems.
Espanyol's plan with Pablo Ramón is clear: replicate the formula that worked well in 2017 with Mario Hermoso. They paid little and ended up selling him for a lot to Atlético.
Pablo Ramón Finds No Place at Real Madrid: Raúl Asencio Opens the Doors for Him
Rüdiger's great shape, David Alaba's quick recovery, and Raúl Asencio's recent emergence leave Pablo Ramón five minutes away from Espanyol. The medical examination is still pending.
Florentino Pérez trusts La Fábrica and believes the answer to Real Madrid's problems lies there. He has full confidence in the development of Raúl Asencio, who has been permanently promoted to the first team and with whom the intention is to renew the contract. Currently, it ends in 2026, but negotiations will soon take place.
At 21, Raúl Asencio is considered ready to permanently join Real Madrid's first team to partner with Rüdiger. He's a center-back of enormous quality, with good ball distribution, and is capable of succeeding at the elite level. Many teammates were amazed by his debut in the top division and believe he has everything to make a career with the "seniors".
It's clear that Pablo Ramón needs to leave and Florentino Pérez agrees to do business with Espanyol. Everything is now settled.
