Former Chelsea star Ramires on £200,000-per-week but dons ragged-looking boots

The Brazil international may be earning big money in the Chinese Super League, but the Jiangsu Suning midfielder has been wearing patched-up footwear

Ramires may have left Chelsea in January 2016 to sign a lucrative deal with Jiangsu Suning but the Brazilian has refused to become flashy, opting to continue wearing some patched-up boots.

The 30-year-old midfielder is reported to be earning around £200,000-a-week in the Chinese Super League.

You would think that salary would stretch to some new footwear, with Ramires’ current boots looking a little worse for wear.

He is, however, prepared to get creative when required and has taken to stitching up holes and ploughing on regardless.
