Transfer News: Chelsea make contact with Sergio Ramos

According to transfer news from Mirror, Chelsea have made contact with Sergio Ramos over a free transfer. Chelsea are hoping to repeat what they did with Thiago Silva last season and get another free agent in the side. Along with Chelsea, PSG, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also said to be in the race to sign him.

Sergio Ramos is officially no longer a Real Madrid player. The club confirmed that the captain would be leaving after a new contract could not be agreed upon. Farewells were bid as the 35-year old leaves the club after 16 trophy-laden seasons.

Chelsea are rightly going after Ramos. They saw how a free transfer for Thiago Silva worked out and are hoping to repeat the same. While Ramos may not exactly be a long-term option for the club, he does represent a great short-term one. His leadership qualities could be something Chelsea can use.
