Cruzeiro forward Júlio Baptista believes that team-mate Lucas Silva would "fit in very nicely at Real Madrid."

The 21 year-old has been strongly linked with a move to Los Blancos as a possible replacement for Sami Khedira.

With Baptista having already experienced life at Real, he knows what to expect, and the former Brazil international is confident Lucas could become a leader in Madrid, provided he’s given time to settle.

“he is already doing it [leading] at Cruzeiro," he told MARCA. “He is ready to make the giant leap to Europe and into a big club like Madrid, but he needs time to settle, because it"s not an easy club. 

"But in terms of footballing ability, there"s no doubt he"d fit in very nicely at Real Madrid. He"s a player brimming with talent."
