Real Madrid plot move for Ramires

Real Madrid are reportedly eager to land the signature of Brazilian midfielder Ramires from Chelsea this summer, according to Spanish source Marca.

Ramires, 27, has played a crucial role in the Blues' progress in recent seasons, and is now considered a key-member in the squad.

Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti is understood to be a huge admirer of the Brazilian's talents, and Marca claims that the La Liga giants are confident of prising the holding midfielder away from Stamford Bridge when the World Cup finals conclude next month.

Ramires joined Chelsea from Primeira Liga club Benfica in the summer of 2010.
