Midfield:
With Xabi Alonso joining Bayern Munich this summer and Sami Khedira possibly set to follow when his contract expires next summer, it is no surprise to see rumours of Real Madrid’s interest in Chelsea’s Ramires resurfacing. The tough-tackling Brazilian international has been a key performer for the Blues since he joined the club from Benfica, and remains a favourite of his old manager Carlo Ancelotti. With Khedira available for free and thought to be one of Jose Mourinho’s targets, it could then make financial sense for the club to sell Ramires for the right price and bring in his replacement at no cost.
