"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."
