Former Chelsea midfielder Ramires has opened the door to a return to Stamford Bridge by admitting he wants to play for Chelsea again.

The 30-year-old Brazilian quit Chelsea for Chinese Super League club Jiangsu Suning in a shock January 2016 deal after falling down the pecking order under then-boss Guus Hiddink.

“Chelsea? I’ll always have special affection for them and I want to play for them again before finishing my career,” Ramires said as quoted on Daily Mirror.

“I know the doors of Stamford Bridge will always be open to me and that wearing their jersey again would be spectacular.”
