"Benfica" from Lisbon has confirmed that they have agreed to sell midfielder Ramires to a London club for 22 million euros. It is expected that the footballer, who joined the Portuguese team from "Cruzeiro" last summer for just 8 million euros, will undergo a medical examination in the coming days and officially become a member of the English champions. Part of the transfer fee - around 9 million euros - will go to sports businessman Kia Joorabchian, who also owns the rights to the Brazilian national team player, as he partly financed the player's move to "Benfica". Ramires would be the second signing for "Chelsea" this summer - earlier they acquired "Liverpool" defender Yossi Benayoun."
