The 28-year-old Brazilian has reportedly started negotiations with Chelsea who will need to decide which way to go before the end of the season. According to Metro, even though the midfielder’s contract will expire in 2017, Mourinho still needs to figure out what will happen next season given the poor form the Blues have shown up until now. Experts have said that Chelsea need an upgrade in terms of man-power which means new players should move to London. Apparently, the biggest problem the club is facing right now is regarding the defense. Terry is not the player he used to be, Ivanovic is unfortunately making mistakes most games and Cahill and Zouma fluctuate when it comes to form. Matic, despite his lack of accomplishments, will remain the only probable constant on the team.

Mourinho is building a team for the future which means a 28-year-old Ramires may not do, not in the long term at least. The players raised by the club lack experience which means transfers need to include names which are already acquainted with pressure like the one coming from the Champions League. One solution might come from the club that brought Mourinho his first big trophies. FC Porto could agree to sell rising star Giannelli Imbula who is currently struggling to adapt to Portuguese football. The 23-year-old who at times resembles Yaya Toure has caught the eye of the Special One even since last year but nothing was done thinking that the lot Chelsea had will continue dominating the Premier League. Unfortunately, things did not turn out this way and now Imbula could represent a solution for the Blues’ midfield.
