Olympique Marseille have snapped up Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva.

The Brazilian joins new coach Michel at the French side and will remain on loan there through to the end of the 2015-16 season.

Real Madrid legend Michel was named Marseille coach last week.

Lucas Silva arrived this January at Real Madrid and signed a deal that expires in 2020, after the Spanish club paid €14 million to Brazilian Serie A outfit, Cruzeiro.
