Chelsea midfielder Ramires has admitted that he would be tempted by an offer to return to former club Cruzeiro.
The 25-year-old spent two seasons with the Brazilian side before moving to Europe with Benfica in 2009.
Despite admitting that Cruzeiro may find it hard to finance his return, Ramires has revealed that he would happily rejoin the club should the offer be right.
"If Cruzeiro are interested, it's possible for me to go back," Ramires told the Sun on Sunday. "Although it's not a decision I can make and difficult because my price is very high. If Cruzeiro could raise the money, I would go back for sure.
"I was happy at Cruzeiro and felt an obligation to return at some point as the club offered me a chance to launch my sport career in Europe.
"I still follow their matches on the internet. The fans were always good to me and named me 'Ramires the Warrior'."
The Brazilian midfielder joined the Blues in 2010.
