Celta Vigo approach Real Madrid for Lucas Silva

Celta Vigo are keen to sign Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva.

The Brazilian has spent the past two seasons away on-loan at Cruzeiro and has informed his parent club he wants to cut ties this summer.

UOL Esporte says Celta are in talks with Real about bringing Lucas back to Spain for next season.

Cruzeiro want to sign Lucas, but have learned of Celta's interest and accept they cannot compete with the LaLiga outfit.

Lucas moved to Real in January 2015 from Cruzeiro in a €13m deal.
