Chelsea Deny €40m Move For Real Madrid Defender Sergio Ramos - Report
Aug 26, 2010 12:52:00 PM
Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen has personally assured Real Madrid president Florentino Perez they have made no move for Sergio Ramos.
The Blues were linked with a mammoth £33 million swoop for the Spain World Cup 2010 winner earlier this week after new contract talks stalled. The reports are understood to have been dismissed out of hand by the Chelsea hierarchy.
According to AS, Arnesen stated to Perez that he had been offered the player by an agent rather than making a move himself.
"It is absolutely false," the Dane is believed to have said.
"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."
Ramos himself quashed the rumour by declaring he wanted to finish his career at the Bernabeu.
Speaking to Marca, he said: "There’s no truth in it. I had a dream of winning the World Cup and I achieved it. Now I have another: to retire playing at Madrid."
