RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid have agreed to loan out midfielder Lucas Silva to his original team Cruzeiro, both clubs confirmed on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old will spend the next 18 months with the Brazilian Serie A outfit as he attempts to revive his stalled career.
Silva joined Real Madrid for 15 million euros in January 2015 but managed just eight matches for the Spanish giants before being loaned out to Marseille.
He was due to move to Sporting Lisbon in July but a deal fell through when a routine medical exam detected a heart problem.
Silva has since vowed to continue playing, saying that subsequent examinations have ruled out any serious health problems.
