Brazilian midfielder Ramires has left English Premier League side Chelsea to join Chinas Jiangsu Suning

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.
