Brazilian midfielder Ramires on Wednesday moved from Chelsea to Jiangsu Suning for a reported $35 million making him the biggest ever signing by a Chinese club.

Chelsea said that a "permanent transfer" for the 28-year-old had been agreed, without giving details of the fee.

British media said Jiangsu had paid at least £25 million (33 million euros/$35 million).

Ramires joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2010 and won the Champions League and the Premier League during more than 250 appearances for the London club.
