Former Chelsea Midfielder Ramires To Join European Giant In January

Ramires is heading back to Europe on loan from Jiangsu Suning.

After enjoying six seasons at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea, the Brazilian joined the Chinese Super League revolution by signing with Jiangsu Suning in 2016.

But with the domestic season coming to a conclusion in November, he's set to return to Europe in the interim.

And Inter Milan have struck a loan deal with the Asian side. Ramires is expected to start training with the Italian outfit next month ahead of completing a deal in January.

According to Corriere dello Sport via Football Italia, Ramires is already in Europe, training with his former side, Chelsea, as he bids to regain full fitness following injury he suffered in October.

Inter Milan and Jiangsu Suning are both owned by the same parent company hence the smoothly negotiated transfer.

The fallen European giants are in the market for reinforcements in the middle of the park, having previously eyed up an ambitious offer for Bayern Munich's Arturo Vidal.

However, the deal for Ramires is yet to be finalised with Inter having only one spot left in their side for non-EU players.

But pricey alternatives will likely see Ramires head to Italy.
