BORUSSIA DORTMUND are interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Ramires, according to reports.

 

Chelsea midfielder Ramires could replace Liverpool target Ilkay Gundogan at Borussia Dortmund

 

The 28-year-old Brazil international has played just 28 minutes of Premier League football since Guus Hiddink replaced Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.

And according to Globo Esporte Ramires is eyeing a move away from the club after almost six years at Chelsea. 

 

With Borussia Dortmund said to have enquired about the availability of the player. 

This approach further fuels Ilkay Gundogan's potential transfer to Liverpool, so it may be that Ramires is being eyed as a replacement for the 25-year-old. 

Kop boss Jurgen Klopp is believed to be wanting a reunion with his former Dortmund favourite Gundogan, who has refused to pledge his long-term future to Dortmund. 

 

Ramires recently signed a new contract extension until 2019 at Stamford Bridge and is likely to command a fee upwards of £20million.  

The Brazilian has also been attracting interest from Serie A side Juventus, who have already had a summer move rejected.

Ramires has made 12 Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season and has scored two goals.
