"We have signed one of the best midfielders in Brazil," Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said during Silva's unveiling. "It's through our search for talent that we have acquired Silva."
Perez then looked at Real's latest signing and said: "You arrive at only 21, having won the league in your country. I only ask of you to give your best and show passion for this club. You have arrived at a very important stage of the season. To wear this jersey is an honour but also a responsibility that only few get to have."
Silva is Real's second reinforcement during the winter transfer market following the capture of Norwegian teenage sensation Martin Odegaard from Stromsgodset. Real are one point clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga, while they are also alive in the Champions League.
