Marseille have agreed a deal to sign Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva on loan for the remainder of the 2015-16 campaign.
The French clubconfirmed Silva's temporary switch on Thursday, translated by Bleacher Report's Jonathan Johnson:

This transfer gives the youngster a chance to develop in a European setting that's more likely to offer first-team chances. The 22-year-old makes his way to France after struggling to find a place in the starting XI at the Bernabeu following his €14 million move from Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro in January of this year.
