Report: Lucas Silva to leave Real Madrid on loan

Lucas Silva will reportedly be allowed to leave Real Madrid on loan this summer.

The 22-year-old joined the Spanish side from Cruzeiro in January, but only started three games in the second half of the season.

Spanish rules dictate that La Liga clubs may only have three non-European players registered and following Casemiro's return to the Bernabeu, Silva will be sacrificed, according to AS.

It is understood that Real Madrid are still invested in Silva's potential, but a loan move to a fellow La Liga club is on the cards this summer.

A host of teams are said to be interested in the midfielder.
