Report: Lucas Silva to snub Premier League for Real Madrid

Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva is set for a move Real Madrid after describing the prospect to playing for the Liga giants as a "dream", according to reports.

Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva is set to snub Manchester United and Arsenal for a move to Spain with Real Madrid, according to reports.

The 21-year-old is said to be on the radar of some of the world's biggest football clubs following a series of sterling displays for his hometown club.

Silva has appeared to express interest primarily for the Liga giants, telling Brazilian channel SporTV: "I don't know what [Cruzeiro] are going to propose, whether they want me in the middle of the season or at the end and I stay for the Copa Libertadores.

"I still don't know what will happen, but it would be interesting to stay for the Libertadores and then join up with the rest of the players for pre-season.

"Negotiations are still open but if they do take shape it will be dream to play for Madrid."

Cruzeiro are the current champions of Brazil.
