Man Utd, Inter, Atletico target Lucas Silva opts for Europe

Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva admits he would love to one day play in Europe.

The 21-year old Brazilian is a reported target for Manchester United, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid and although he is unsure if a transfer will take place soon, he says a shift to European football could be a possibility.

"I have the dream of playing in Europe, but I don't want to leave Cruzeiro the wrong way," the Brazil U20 international told Superesportes.

"I was developed by Cruzeiro. If it's not something good for me or Cruzeiro, it won't be bad to stay here."

The €10million-rated Silva has been with Cruzeiro's youth academy since 2007 and has gone on to feature almost 50 times for the Belo Horizonte club.
