Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has told Real Madrid that Brazil midfielder Ramires is not for sale.
Ramires has been mentioned as a target of Coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was in charge at Stamford Bridge when Ramires moved to the club from Benfica.
But Mourinho has spoken to Marca and insisted he will not part with the 27-year-old.
“I have a great friendship with important people at Madrid and they know that Ramires is staying at Chelsea,” the former Madrid boss said.
“They know that Ramires won’t go and they know I’m not interested in any Madrid player.
“Varane and Khedira? I repeat, I’m not interested in any Madrid player. The matter’s over.”
