Lucas Silva refused to return to the Spanish League | Football24 News English

Lucas Silva could be one of the most surprising movements of the past transfer market given that the Elche was very convinced to get his services and in fact, contacted him Porto Alegre Gremio to know the situation of the Brazilian. The Brazilian midfielder failed miserably in the Real Madrid years ago as he arrived as one of the great promises of his country but finally could not convince any coach and had to leave through the back door.

The ‘GHZ’ portal claims that the Alicante team contacted Gremio, current owner of its sports rights, to present its offer, which would consist of a transfer with an option to buy, as long as the club from Elche remained in the First Division this season. However, the project failed to seduce either the team or the midfielder, who declined the offer to remain key in the Brazilian team given that they are gradually recovering their version on the field of play.

Resounding failure at Real Madrid

In January 2015, the merengue team was made with the services of Lucas Silva who arrived as one of the great promises of Brazil and in exchange for about 13 million euros. He never had opportunities on the pitch, he played very few minutes and then was loaned to Olympique de Marseille, where he also failed to gain a gap. Finally, he was loaned two seasons to Cruzeiro until his contract with Real Madrid ended and since January 2020 he belongs to Gremio. He has had the opportunity to return to Spain but it seems that his wish is to continue in Brazil.
