Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen has dismissed suggestions that the Blues have bid for Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos but revealed that a representative of the Spanish international did make contact with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy about a possible deal.
Carlo Ancelotti was last week tipped to make a £35 million bid for 24-year-old Ramos despite appearing, on paper, to be well covered defensively.
Speaking about the rumours Arnesen is quoted by Sky Sports clarifying the situation:
"It is absolutely false," confirmed Arnesen. ''We haven't made any bid for Ramos.
"What did surprise us is that a person called us on behalf of the player to see if we were interested in signing him."
Chelsea and Real Madrid have already done one deal this week with former coach Jose Mourinho snapping up compatriot Ricardo Carvalho to bolster his defence at the Bernabeu.
