Released Real Madrid midfielder Lucas Silva is open to a move to Italy.

Silva was released from his contract this week.

I wish I'd had more opportunities in Madrid, but it just wasn't possible. It was still a great experience, I learned a lot and with only one year left on my contract, we both decided it was better for everyone to just terminate the deal early," Lucas Silva told Tuttomercatoweb.

I was considered the best young midfielder in Brazil when I arrived, so naturally I expected it to go differently with Madrid, but I regret nothing and want to think only of the next opportunity.

I want to play in Europe, that is my objective, especially if I can get back into the Brazil squad that way. Serie A would be perfectly suited to my characteristics and that'd represent a very important move.

I was close to Genoa and we were in direct contact, but at the end of the day, it wasn't finalised due to some details."
