Reports emanating from the Spanish capital suggest the Blues are prepared to make Ramos the most expensive player in history, topping the £46million Real paid Juventus for Zinedine Zidane in 2001.
Chelsea are drawing up a list of targets for next season and Ramos is thought to be amongst their top priorities.
Ramos is regarded as one of the best young defenders in Europe and he became the third most expensive teenager in history when he moved to Real in 2005 from Sevilla for around £20million.
The 22-year-old, who can play at right-back and centre-back, could be seen as the answer to Chelsea's problems at right full-back with Michael Essien being forced to play there on occasion this season.
Ramos is thought to be considering his future at the Bernabeu after growing frustrated at the club's reluctance to offer him a new improved contract.
The all-action defender has a contract with Real until 2013, but is believed to be keen to sign a new lucrative deal to bring him in line with the top earners at the club.
Real are determined to keep hold of Ramos with the Spain international an established member of Bernd Schuster's squad and only a record offer could tempt them into parting with one of their prized assets

"Don't believe it. Its about as ridiculous as offering 80mn for Messi. The only reason this has happened was because of the money Chelsea has spent in the past. May I just remind everyone that both Liverpool and Man U spent a lot more in last year's transfer market than Chelsea. People have a selective memory. We will get a right back but not at that price.............its ridiculous"

"Well the bondwagon is rolling again. Quickly, football fans, jump on it.. Dont you people learn anything from the past?? Dont you know any better than to just jump on the bondwagon slating Chelsea for something probably completely untrue. ITS A RUMOUR. Sergio Ramos is a WORLD CLASS defender but he is no where near worth £55M. No player is worth that much, not even the likes of Messi and C.Ronaldo... But its all good, Keep slating Chelsea 'Cos that all you people do when a bullshit story like this appears on TeamTalk..."
