Lucas Silva opens up about Porto rumours

The Brazilian only joined Los Blancos in January from Cruzeiro and says his only aim right now is to earn a starting role in Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid side, despite stories he could be discarded.

“I was surprised by the news because nobody has mentioned anything to me,” the 22-year-old told Globoesporte.

“I have a contract with Real Madrid and it’s one I want to complete. I’ve already had a few opportunities and I want to be able to hold down a regular place and play.”

However, Silva did not rule out the possibility of going out on loan to gain more experience, as was the case with Casemiro who is on loan with Porto but expected to return to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

“It could be a good option but, as I’ve already said, I’ve got a contract with Real Madrid,” he reiterated.
