Cruzeiro players believe teammate Lucas Silva will be joining Real Madrid. The midfielder could sign for Real this week with the Brazilian Championship now complete.
"Being able to play for a team like Real Madrid is the dream of any player," said his team-mate Mayke. "We know he will go, but he still can't imagine it."
Cruzeiro striker Borges also said: "Lucas has it all to play for with Madrid, we are waiting for it to happen as soon as possible.
"He is a midfielder who presses well, moves the ball well, has a lot of quality in passing the ball and is a good finisher."
