Oliveira handed Sheva jersey Ricardo Oliveira has accepted to inherit Andriy Shevchenko’s Milan No 7 shirt following his Rossoneri switch yesterday.
The Brazilian completed his move to the San Siro on Thursday after the club’s search for a Sheva replacement finally came to an end.
“I don’t fear the responsibility of wearing this shirt,†stated the player netted from Real Betis.
“I am a forward who is joining one of the best clubs in the world. I can imagine what is expected of me, but I’m not worried.â€
Oliveira signed a five-year contract with the giants after Milan handed the Spanish outfit Johann Vogel and a reported £12m.
“I can finally say that I am very happy to be here,†said the 26-year-old. “Now I can focus on working hard, playing and scoring goals.
“I am looking forward to meeting all of the team and starting to train with them, I want to integrate as soon as possible,†added Oliveira.
“I have always wanted to play with my fellow countryman Kaka and I am thrilled I have finally been given this opportunity.â€
