Chelsea midfielder Ramires feels that talk of interest from Real Madrid in his services is a tip of the hat towards how he has been performing for Jose Mourinho's men.
Ramires has been mooted as being on the Spanish side's wanted list and a January bid from Carlo Ancelotti's men for the former Benfica man may well arise.
Ramires, for his part, feels that interest from Los Blancos is something to be happy about, even if he is not uncomfortable at Chelsea.
"I see the interest of Real Madrid as recognition of my beautiful work in Europe", the midfielder was quoted as saying by Tutto Mercato.

"But I am under contract with Chelsea and it wouldn't be right to comment on the rumours", he added.
Ramires joined Chelsea in 2010, making the switch from Portuguese giants Benfica.
He has already tasted substantial success at Stamford Bridge, winning the FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League.
