Real Madrid would be wise to sign LucasSilva Former Blancos forward Baptista has urgedthe Liga club to move quickly to sign his highly-rated Cruzeiro colleague Cruzeiro forward Julio Baptista urged former club Real Madrid to sign highly rated team-mate Lucas Silva. Real have been linked with a move for 21-year-old midfielder Silva amid reports of Sami Khediras possible departure from the Spanish capital, with Arsenal and Chelsea rumoured to be admirers of the latter. Silva has quickly become one of the hottest properties in Brazilian football, having emerged from Cruzeiros youth team in 2012. The Brazil youth-team international has been a regular for Cruzeiro in 2014, making 19 appearances as the defending Serie A champions sit top of the table. And veteran Baptista, who spent three years at the Santiago Bernabeu, believes Silva has the quality to succeed in La Liga. It would be a wise move, Baptista told Marca of Real potentially signing Silva. The first day I saw him I knew he was a player that would turn heads and I told him so. Hes a two touch player, a quality that would fit right in Spain or the Premier League. In Brazil, players hog the ball, but Lucas plays it quickly. He is ready to make the giant leap to Europe and into a big club like Madrid, but he needs time to settle, because its not an easy club. But in terms of footballing ability, theres no doubt hed fit in very nicely at Real Madrid. Hes a player brimming with talent. Despite strong links to Real Madrid, reports in British media have linked Chelsea with stealing him away to Stamford Bridge from under Carlo Ancelottis nose. So, Do you think Madrid need to sign this boy? As for me i said Yes . What of You?
