There’s seldom smoke without fire in the transfer market – that’s what we always say. And Real Madrid have been rumoured to be interested in a midfield anchor man for some time now. So the likely conclusion that we can draw is that, sooner or later, Real Madrid will sign one.
Many believe that Sami Khedira is the perfect man for the job now that he’s recovered from his long term injury. But there is obviously something that Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t like about the German’s game and it seems that his days at The Bernabeu are numbered.
The latest name to come into the frame, in relation to midfield reinforcements, is the highly rated young Brazilian Lucas Silva.
He’s been making waves at Cruzeiro in his home country and, at the tender age of 21, he’s already seen as a vital component of the side having played 28 times for them in 2014 (1 goal).
He’s expected to receive his full international debut for Brazil before long, having represented his country at every youth level with honours.
Marca reports:
Lucas Silva, one of the budding stars of Brazilian football, has become the latest object of desire for Real Madrid.
His profile would appear perfect for a Real Madrid side who already have Kroos and Modric at the height of their powers in midfield. If Silva did arrive he wouldn’t expect to start every game, unlike Khedira, and could assimilate into the side over time. He could also offer solidity if Real Madrid decided to go with an extra midfielder in the toughest games.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Real Madrid fans: keen?
