Chelsea is reportedly interested in bringing Brazilian midfielder Ramires to Stamford Bridge, according to the player's agent.
The Benfica star featured four times for Brazil at the World Cup but missed out on their quarter-final defeat to Holland due to suspension.
Ramires, 23, joined the Portuguese outfit in May 2009 for £6.5 million and his agent Luis Carlini, told the News of the World that the playmaker could be leaving this summer.
"Many clubs from the big European leagues have been in contact about Ramires," he said.
"Chelsea and Bayern [Munich] have spoken to Benfica, but I can't say more."
Ramires insisted that he is happy at Benfica but could be tempted by an offer from a high-profile club.
"I came to Europe to win championships," he said.
"It is normal that I would look at any offers from clubs in bigger leagues but I am currently under contract and Benfica will have the final say."
