Ramires - Benfica
Benfica and Brazil midfield star Ramires will make a decision tomorrow on whether to join Chelsea or Manchester City this summer.

The reigning Premier League champions have already offer the Portuguese club £20 million for the Brazil World Cup star.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder, who performed well for Brazil during their run to the quarter-finals in South Africa, is also being targeted by City.

Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira will sit down with the Premier League rivals and try to decide which team will offer the best deal for the Portuguese Liga champions, according to The Sun.

The Brazilian is set to sign a four-year contract that would pay him £50,000-a-week, should Chelsea beat out City for the Brazilian.

Former Brazil manager Ramires, who Benfica bought from Cruzeiro for £5.5 million last year, acknowledged that they missed the midfielder dearly after he was suspended for his squad’s 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in the last eight.
