Chelsea midfielder Ramires has poured cold water on speculations linking him with a move to Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian has reportedly become a target for los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti, who could stay without both Sami Khedira and Xabi Alonso in the near future.
However, Ramires has moved to deny there has been any truth in the links with Real Madrid.
“For me it has not come to anything – it is perhaps speculation. I am better served in Chelsea. It would be disrespectful to say something if the club did not come to talk to me,” the Brazilian told O Globo.
“I have a contract until 2017 and do not think about leaving. I will only exit if the club really want me to. Other than that, I’m fine.”
Ramires featured for Joinville and Cruzeiro before signing for Benfica in 2009, and he needed just one season to catch the eye of top European clubs.
The Brazil international joined Chelsea in the summer of 2010 and has since managed to prove his worth at Stamford Bridge.
Ramires went on to make 103 Premier League appearances for the Blues, scoring 12 goals in the process, but he has yet to win the league title in England.
With Chelsea climbing to second in the standings thanks to the derby win over Manchester City, the Blues are again 17/9 favourites for the league trophy.
