NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you all the latest news from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea consider Ramires sale
Ramires is close to a January move away from Chelsea after losing his place in the team.
The 28-year-old arrived in London from Benfica in 2010 for £16.6million and has racked up nearly 250 appearances for the club since.
The Brazilian was a stalwart of Jose Mourinho's side but since the Portuguese's dismissal, Ramires has not started in the Premier League under Guus Hiddink.
And despite having signed a new four-year contract with Chelsea only last year, the Mail Online are reporting that Bayern Munich and PSG are both interested in the midfielder's signature should he become available.
Chelsea are said to be wiling to listen as they look to raise transfer funds to rebuild the side which has so comprehensively failed to defend the Premier League title this season.
Southampton boss eyes Stamford Bridge gig
Ronald Koeman is hoping Guus Hiddink will put a good word in for him at Chelsea.
The Southampton boss has only been on the south coast since 2014 but has made no secret of his ambition to work at some of Europe's top clubs.

And with the Chelsea job to be vacated by interim manager Hiddink this coming summer, Koeman believes his countryman could do him a favour at Stamford Bridge.
“If Guus puts a good word in for me, that would be a big influence," Koeman told Dutch radio.
“I always want to achieve the highest possible level. That has happened in Holland and that’s what I’d really like to achieve abroad.”
Pato hints at transfer plans
Alexandre Pato may have dropped a hint about his next club after his social media activity saw him linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian has been in London recently and has been linked with a return to Europe from Corinthians with both Chelsea and Liverpool mooted as potential destinations.
But after the 26-year-old started following the Blues on Instagram, fans were eager to suggest that Pato has Chelsea on his mind.
Even so his agent Gilmar Veloz earlier this week suggested that both English clubs as well as Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are all in the hunt for his signature but that no formal offer has been tabled.
Veloz told UOL Esporte: "The guys are working on getting an offer, but nothing Corinthians are yet to receive one.
"The January market is very limited. Chelsea, Liverpool, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica. All four have a chance."
