Chelsea star Ramires has signed a new contract despite the ongoing crisis surrounding the club, according to reports from the Daily Star.
The Blues are currently struggling in their title-defending campaign, with Jose Mourinho’s men already losing five league games compared to losing only three in the entirety of last season.

However, this has not stopped Brazilian midfielder Ramires from extending his time at Stamford Bridge, penning a new contract which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2019.
And the former Benfica ace is delighted with the deal, stating that he and his family are extremely happy in London.
“I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea,” the 28-year-old said.
“My family and I are very happy here in London and in the past five years the club has lifted every major trophy.
“I hope to be an important part of many more successes in the next four years.”
This will come as a major boost to Chelsea and Mourinho, with the extension coming not long after reports claimed that there is mutiny within the squad.
“There is no mutiny against Mourinho,” Ramires told ESPN Brasil.
“If you take our last games you will see how everyone is running relentlessly, putting their lives on the line on the pitch, as we say.
“Whenever we’re in bad form, it’s only natural that negative speculation arises, but the whole group isn’t paying attention to the outside.
“We are focused on doing what Mourinho asks us to do and, consequently, helping Chelsea to get back to winning.”
There have also been suggestions that if the Blues lose to Liverpool at home this weekend, then owner Roman Abramovich will sack Mourinho just a few months after the Portuguese guided the club to a Premier League title.
