Ramires: I may leave on a Cruz
FANS' FAVOURITE ... Ramires has won over the Blues faithful

RAMIRES has stunned Chelsea by admitting he would consider returning to Brazil and playing for his former club Cruzeiro.

The £17million midfielder — who joined the Blues in August 2010 from Benfica and signed a four-year deal — has become one of the leading stars at Stamford Bridge.

But he refused to rule out leaving Chelsea and returning to a club he feels indebted to after launching his career in Europe.

Ramires, 25, said: “If Cruzeiro are interested, it’s possible for me to go back.

“Although it’s not a decision I can make and difficult because my price is very high. If Cruzeiro could raise the money, I would go back for sure.

“I was happy at Cruzeiro and felt an obligation to return at some point as the club offered me a chance to launch my sport career in Europe.

“I still follow their matches on the internet. The fans were always good to me and named me ‘Ramires the Warrior’.

“I still keep all the videos of when I played at the club and in difficult moments at Chelsea I watch them to increase my morale.”

Ramires spent two seasons at the club before joining Benfica for £7.5m on a five-year deal in 2009.

But he barely spent a year in Portugal before Chelsea handed them a profit just shy of £10m to take him to England.
