Chelsea midfielder Ramires is set to join Serie A champions Juventus, according to reports in Italy.
The Corriere dello Sport are reporting the Brazilian player is on his way to Turin.
Juventus are also in the market for Schalke forward Julian Draxler, but face competition from Manchester United and Arsenal to land the 21-year-old.
Ramires is apparently out of the picture at Stamford Bridge with
Chelsea willing to do business to sell him on before the end of August.
OUR VIEW
Juventus have been forced to move for Ramires with midfielder Sami Khedira and Kwadwo Asamoah out injured. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho
has intimated that he is unwilling to flog the Brazilian midfielder,
but that hasn't stopped him changing his mind in the past. Especially if
they receive good money for the player. Selling Ramires would enable
Mourinho to recruit a new midfielder before the end of the window. And
create vital space in the champions' squad.
August 11
Juventus are set to bid for Chelsea midfielder Ramires, according to the Evening Standard.
Ramires has been on the fringes of the Chelsea team since Jose
Mourinho returned to the club, and Juve are said to have been tracking
the Brazilian for some time, adds the report.
While Chelsea are not actively seeking to sell the player and
Mourinho is an admirer of his versatility, the Blues could be persuaded
into doing a deal as the former Benfica man has entered the last two years of his contract.
OUR VIEW
This move could come down to the will of the player. Chelsea are
happy with Ramires’s role within the club. So much so that they offered
the Brazilian a new contract at the end of last season but while that
remains unsigned, uncertainty will continue over his future.
The question is a simple one: is Ramires happy with a bit-part role at Chelsea? If so, sign the deal.
