Lucas Silva: Real Madrid to sign                   Brazil Under-21 midfielder

      Real Madrid have reached a deal to sign midfielder Lucas Silva from Brazilian club Cruzeiro on a long-term contract for a reported transfer fee of £9.7m.
        The 21-year-old has signed a contract keeping him with the European champions until June 30, 2020, although he still has to pass his medical.
Silva has represented Brazil at Under-21 level and has helped his club side win the league in 2013 and 2014.
Real bought 16-year-old midfielder Martin Odegaard earlier this week.
That transfer cost the club £2.3m with Odegaard, who has already won three caps for Norway, signing from Norwegian side Stromsgodset.
Silva is set to be presented to the club's fans at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Monday.
European champions Real are currently one point clear at the top of La Liga.
