Ramires is set to sign for a Chinese club for a ridiculous amount of money

Nice work if you can get it

Ramires is a perfectly good footballer.

But is he worth €33million?

The Brazilian box-to-box midfielder has served Chelsea well in his five and a half years at Stamford Bridge, playing 246 times and scoring 37 goals.

Including this brilliant chip against Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semi-final second leg.

The Premier League champions certainly got full value for their €22million outlay to Benfica, and now look set to make a profit on the player.

According to BBC Sport, Ramires is set to join Chinese side Jiangsu Suning in a deal worth almost €33million, a fee that seems excessive for a useful, hard-working player, but one currently being kept out of the Chelsea XI by John Obi Mikel.

However, Chelsea fans will miss the 28 year old.
