Keen to reign in Spain: Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos[LNB]Chelsea have distanced themselves from reports in Spain that they have launched a dizzying £33million bid for Real Madrid right back Sergio Ramos.[LNB]The 24-year-old is understood to be keen on signing a new contract at the Bernabeu and his case will have been done no harm by Spanish newspaper Marca reporting a mammoth offer from the Barclays Premier League champions.[LNB]However, Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen insists there has been no bid and revealed that the player had in fact been offered to them.[LNB]'It is absolutely false,' Arnesen told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, according to Spanish newspaper AS. 'We haven't made any bid for Ramos.[LNB]'What did surprise us is that a person called us on behalf of the player to see if we were interested in signing him.'[LNB]Ramos joined Real Madrid from Sevilla for a whopping £18m five years ago but found his future brought into question this summer by Jose Mourinho's pursuit of Inter Milan right back Maicon.[LNB]Asked by Marca about Chelsea's supposed offer, he said today: 'There's no truth in it. I had a dream of winning the World Cup and I achieved it. Now I have another: to retire playing at Madrid.'[LNB] Chelsea set to make last-ditch attempt for Neymar before Brazilian's fee rises to £36.8m The boy who cried for Wolves: Chelsea's Michael Mancienne returns to Molineux for third successive season on loan CHELSEA FC
