Chelsea is prepared to listen to offers for Ramires to setup a January transfer.
José Mourinho has told Chelsea executives he's prepared to sell Ramires if a provem replacement in midfield can be found.
Real Madrid are one of the clubs monitoring Ramires' situation.
Ramires has started just three of Chelsea's 16 matches this season with Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas taking the central midfield slots and has had to fight with the likes of Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian and Andre Schurrle for an attacking midfield position.
Speaking about Ramires last week, Mourinho said that he was pleased to have the Brazilian available again.
"Ramires is very important to us," Mourinho said. "He is good tactically and can play in multiple positions with the same intensity.
"He's a dangerous guy when attacking and has a good defensive transition. He has a fantastic engine when pressing and that is important to us. The balance between the technical players like Ramires and the athletes is important."
