Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva has welcomed interest from Italy.
Lucas is set to leave Real on-loan this season, with Fiorentina keen.
“They are big clubs and I am happy that they are interested in me," he told Spanish Marca.
“It means I did something right in the past and in my performances for Real Madrid. I am thinking of staying at Real Madrid, to play more often and earn my place in the team.
“Rafa Benitez is a Coach who works hard and wants his players to put in the effort, so I think I'm suited to his football. I can't wait to get started."
