Ramires dismisses Real Madrid's interest, insists he's happy at Chelsea

Ramires

Chelsea midfielder Ramires has spoken of his delight to be linked with Real Madrid but has made it clear that he is happy at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazilian international is flattered to be linked to Spanish giants Madrid but is reading little into the links.

With no official approach made yet, Ramires is keen to to point out that he is happy at Chelsea.

Ramires told Globo Esporte: “Nothing has come to me, I have just heard about this through the press. My agent hasn’t told me anything either. Maybe it is just speculation.

“I am focused on my work, one can’t talk about something that he knows nothing about.”

He added: “It’s good for the ego (to be linked with Real), it’s a sign that people somewhere like your work.

“I am very happy to know that, but neither Chelsea nor my agent have told me anything. It would be a lack of respect to say anything if the club didn’t talk with me.”

Ramires has a contract with the Blues until 2017 and said: “I will only leave if the club want me to. I feel have adapted well.”

Ramires has created 13 goalscoring chances in 9 Premier League matches this season. Only Eden Hazard (19) has created more at Chelsea.
