Real
Madrid are set to finalize a deal for Brazilian youngster Lucas Silva as both
the clubs are closing on an agreement, according to reports.
Spanish media Marca reported recently that Real Madrid could be finalizing the deal this week. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal all are in the race but the Spanish giants have directly taken the front seat.
The
Brazilian has already hinted that he would like to join Madrid as he expressed
his desire to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Cruzeiro’s
president Gilvan de Pinho Tavares has already confirmed that €15million is the fee that can only
acquire his services.
Los
Blancos has reportedly offered €12million which is indirectly declined by his side Cruzeiro
who are eyeing a full payment rather than doing some other deals.
According
to ESPN, Silva’s former teammate Mayke who played with him for four years said it
is just a matter of time, he will be wearing a Madrid jersey soon.
While
last week, reports said that Arsenal have offered him but Madrid have overtaken
them. However, Arsene Wenger will surely increase the offer if he is serious in
the 21-year-old.
On
the other hand, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will go for German midfielder Christoph
Kramer if they fail to land the Brazilian.
