Chelsea midfielder Ramires to join Chinese side Jiangsu Suning for £25m fee?

Chelsea midfielder Ramires is reportedly closing in on a £25m move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning.

The 28-year-old has spent more than five years playing at Stamford Bridge following his £18m switch from Benfica in 2010.

The Brazilian signed a new four-year contract in October, but reports have claimed that the Premier League club are willing to sell him.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are expected to make a profit on Ramires as they edge closer to sealing a deal with the Chinese outfit.

Should the transfer go through, Ramires will be playing under former Chelsea midfielder Dan Petrescu, who became Jiangsu boss in July last year.
