The Brazilian joined Los Blancos from Cruzeiro in January and has impressed during the early stages of his career in Spain.

The 22-year-old has also revealed that his family will join him in the Spanish capital next month.

"I've found a house and I've now got a car; I've visited a few of the tourist spots. I feel at home here and although I've been on my own, my family is due to join me next month. I'm settling in more with each day," Silva told reporters.

The midfielder is expected to start Real Madrid's last-16 Champions League second leg at home to Schalke 04 on Tuesday.
