Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has backed their move for Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva.
Roberto Carlos is convinced his fellow Brazilian is good enough for Real.
"Many people don't know Lucas Silva, I see him in every match. He is a great player. In the last two years, even though he had problems with Cruzeiro's former coach, he has had great quality, he positions himself well on the field and he shoots well from outside the box.
"If Madrid sign him I am sure he will perform. He will play with love and desire and Madrid will not be disappointed."
