Ramires’ agent: Three of the top 10 clubs in the world want Brazilian midfielder

Ramires’ agent has revealed that the former Chelsea star has been drawn attractions from a number of world football’s top clubs.

“Three of the top 10 clubs in the world have moved in a formal way, but I can’t say more than that,” agent Luis Carlini told GloboEsporte on Thursday.

“Interest is one thing, formalising it is another. Ramires wouldn’t come cheap, he’s an important player for [Fabio] Capello.”

“For a deal to get over the line there has to be agreement between all parties. There’s still a bit of time until the January transfer window, but it’s logical there are already contacts.”

Previously, reports in Italy suggested that Inter Milan were already in talks with Jiangsu Suning about a deal for the Brazilian midfielder.

However, the Chinese Super League side have denied those rumours.
