Boost for Chelsea! Mourinho distances Blues ace from Real Madrid move

Jose Mourinho claims Ramires will not follow David Luiz, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole out of Chelsea this summer.

Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid's former Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen on taking the Brazil international - who the Italian signed from Benfica in 2010 when he was in charge at Stamford Bridge - to the Bernabeu this summer.

However, Mourinho is adamant the 27-year-old is not going anywhere, saying: "Ramires is staying at Chelsea, he's not for sale.

"I have a great relationship with important people at Real Madrid and they know that Ramires is going to stay at Chelsea."

The Portuguese, who left Madrid last summer to return to Chelsea, also rubbished speculation he was looking to raid the European champions for any of their players.

Mourinho added: "They (Real Madrid) know that Ramires isn't going, but they also know that I'm not interested in any Real Madrid player. (Raphael) Varane and (Sami) Khedira? I repeat that I'm not interested in any Madrid player, full stop."
