Reports coming from Stamford Bridge suggest that Chelsea midfielder Ramires is set to join Chinese Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning for $25 million.
Ramires, who has played just seven games in current season, is reportedly miffed over not getting enough opportunity to play time - pompting the talented Brazilian midfielder to look for other clubs.

Ramires joined Chelsea in 2010 from Portuguese club Benfica for $28 million. He quickly made an impact and became regular among first 11 for The Blues. Ramires has won many titles with Chelsea in his five-year stint with the club - including Premier league and UEFA Champions League glory.
However, since the beginning of 2015 season, Ramires regularly failed to make into the first team selection. Even Chelsea's worst start to the season did not force the then manager Jose Mourinho to regularly include Ramires in the first 11.
Any sign that things would improve under new manager Guus hiddink were punctured as the Brazilian midfielder has not made it into first team selection even once under the new manager.
Jiangsu Suning, where Ramires is reportedly heading, finished 9th in Chinese Premier League in 2015. However, the club did manage to win Chinese Cup in 2015, the biggest honor that the club has won in its history.
If Ramires transfer to Jiangsu Suning Club is officially cemented, it would be one of the biggest signings by the Chinese club in recent years.
Interestingly, Ramires would be end up playing under manager Dan Petrescu, who himself is a former Chelsea player.
