Mijatovic is set to meet at the Bernabéu with AC Milan exec Galliani this afternoon at 5pm Madrid time to finalise the transfer of Ronaldo – and perhaps seal another deal.


It’s not just the Fenômeno who may be switching between Rossoneri and Merengue shirts as Ricardo Oliveira may be ricocheting back to Spain in a related deal.

The Villarreal debacle has twisted the knife in a visible Real wound: the team hasn’t scored two goals in a game since Ronaldo’s December brace in Kiev – an embarrassing fact.

With only Van Nistelrooy up front Mijatovic is slated to ask for a loan deal that would bring an unwanted Oliveira from San Siro to the Bernabéu before the transfer window slams shut at Midnight on Wednesday.

26 year-old Ricardo Oliveira will find his space severely limited by the arrival of Ronaldo and the established pecking order seeing both Gilardino and Inzaghi ahead of a number 7 who’s only scored four times in five months.

Oliveira already knows the Spanish Liga after playing two years at Real Betis and a year at Valencia which is a point in his favour.

The only question that really remains to be answered – and there is a wide range of opinions – is if Oliveira has the right stuff to be given a chance at Real Madrid?

It's funny how Milan invest in a striker like Gilardino and pay a certain price for him and stand by him through thick and thin, but when they make the same investment in Oliveira, they act as if he is a risk to the club and don't stand by him through these really bad moments. (His sister being kidnapped...)

Signing him in the first place was a mistake as Sheva's replacement. But now that they have done it, they are not even giving him the confidence of the club. It's so obvious...

Exactly.

The guy needs to play to find his feet and he hasn't been given adequate time.

Oli should definately stay and not just this season, he's got the talent all he needs is the backing of those around him and right now I don't think he is being given that.
