Cruzeiro forward Júlio Baptista is confident team-mate Lucas Silva would be a smart signing for Real Madrid.
The 33 year-old, who spent three years with Los Blancos, believes Silva has all the capabilities to succeed in Spain and is certain his playing is style is well suited to both La Liga and the Premier League.
“It would be a wise move,” he told MARCA: “The first day I saw him I knew he was a player that would turn heads and I told him so.
“He’s a two touch player, a quality that would fit right in in Spain or the Premier League. In Brazil, players hog the ball, but Lucas plays it quickly.”
