Cruzeiro midfielder Lucas Silva has made it clear that he intends to join Real Madrid in the near future.

The 21 year-old has been strongly linked with Los Blancos, as well as the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United, in recent weeks and though the Spanish outfit are believed to be struggling to match Cruzeiro’s €15 million valuation, Lucas is confident that he will be signed by them eventually.

“I’m ready to join Real Madrid – either now or in June,” he said, as reported by Sky Sport Italia. “I belong to Cruzeiro and what is meant to happen will happen.”

Lucas has come to prominence over the last two seasons, making 50 appearances to help Cruzeiro win back to back Brasileirão titles. The Brazil under-20 international was also recognised for his contribution with a place in the 2014 Championship Squad.
