According to Premium Sport, Ramires’ move to Inter is now very unlikely to go ahead.

For several months, it has been strongly rumoured that the Brazilian midfielder would join the Nerazzurri on a dry loan until the end of the season. His arrival had been viewed as a convenient and low-cost method of adding some much-needed depth to Luciano Spalletti’s squad.

Indeed, it had seemed just a couple of weeks ago that the transfer was all but a done deal. However, Jiangsu Suning coach Fabio Capello has reportedly blocked the Brazilian’s departure. The veteran Italian tactician has seemingly now decided that the former Chelsea man is fundamental to his plans as he looks to turn the Chinese Super League side into realistic title contenders.

It now looks like Walter Sabatini and Piero Ausilio will have to switch their attentions elsewhere as they seek to secure a Champions League berth ahead of next season.
