Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has swiftly dismissed reports that Brazilian midfielder Ramires will be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old, who arrived from Benfica three years ago, has recently been linked with La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, although the player himself said that he is happy in West London.
Mourinho is known to be a keen admirer of the former Joinville and Cruzeiro star, and when asked if the Blues could be tempted into business, the Portuguese coach replied: "No price, no price.
"There is no price for Ramires in the market. The interest doesn't annoy me but, on behalf of Chelsea, there's no price for a club wanting to buy Ramires.
"If it's true or not, it's not important. There's no price."
Ramires has started all 11 of Chelsea's Premier League games this season.
