Back Primera Liga: Real Madrid complete Lucas Silva signing

Real Madrid have completed the signing of young midfielder Lucas Silva from Brazilian club Cruzeiro for a reported fee of around 10 million pounds. The 21-year-old player passed a medical check on Monday and signed a contract with his new club until the end of June 2020. Silva is a Brazilian under-21 international and has led his club to league titles in 2013 and 2014.

"This is a dream come true," said Silva. "I am delighted to be here. I thank God, the Cruzeiro and Real Madrid presidents and everyone who helped make this happen. I am really happy and motivated. I've come to Real Madrid to learn and above all else to help. I feel good and am ready to honour this shirt, which belongs to the best club in the world. I've liked Real Madrid every since I was a child, I'm really happy to be in the city and I'm certain that I will live very well here."

This is the second January signing for the Blancos, who have bought 16-year-old midfielder Martin Odegaard last week. That transfer cost 2.3 million pounds as the Norwegian prodigy moved from Stromsgodset. Reigning European champions Real are currently one point clear at the top of the Primera Liga.

Real Madrid are 2/5 at Bet365 to win the Primera Liga title this season.
