Marseille are keen on the acquisition of Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva on a loan deal, according to Madrid-based daily Marca.
Silva arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu earlier this year, but he failed to find a regular starting spot under then manager Carlo Ancelotti and he doesn’t feature prominently in new manager Rafael Benitez’s plans for the ongoing campaign.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move to several Spanish clubs on loan and now Marseille have emerged as a likely destination for him.
The French giants have recently appointed former Real Madrid midfielder Michel at the helm after the resignation of Marcelo Bielsa.
And the 52-year-old is keen on bringing Silva to the Stade Velodrome on a loan deal, but no option to make the move permanent is being mooted, it has been claimed.

The midfielder is happy with the deal that Marseille will offer him, but he is willing to consider other offers before making a decision.
Real Madrid would prefer their player to stay in Spain, but all the good offers have come from abroad, as a result, the Brazilian could be heading to Marseille.
Silva, whose existing contract with Los Blancos expires in 2020, also has offers from Italian clubs.
