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?

Full Version: Ricardo Oliveira In Real Rebound?
I don't understand why there is speculation that he might move 
Just days ago he was listed on goal.com to move to CSKA .. now he is a target for Madrid ..
I think he should stay put

Oliveira deal for Real?
Reports in Spain are suggesting that Real Madrid have asked Milan to include striker Ricardo Oliveira in the deal that will bring Ronaldo back to Italy.
Rossoneri Vice-President Adriano Galliani is flying to Madrid today and is scheduled to meet the Merengues’ officials in the afternoon, when Il Fenomeno’s transfer should be finalised.
The player completed his medical tests in Milan last week and the two clubs now need to clarify the financial details.
Galliani recently confirmed that there still is a £700,000 difference between Real Madrid’s request and what the Rossoneri are willing to offer.
Spanish newspaper AS reported that Oliveira might be part of the deal, as the Galacticos are in desperate need of new blood upfront.
Oliveira has struggled since his summer arrival from Real Betis and might ask Milan to let him leave on a loan deal at least until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old has also been suffering personal problems, as his sister was kidnapped in Brazil in October and has not yet been released.
The player, who has only scored four times in five months, has been granted limited playing time so far and would be even more limited by the arrival of Ronaldo.

And again 
Actually, i think that even if Ronaldo arrives, we still need Oliveira, as he is not cup tied, and can become a really good player. But if Real agree to trade Raul or RVN, then sure why not?

Nah ... I think Oli will stay w/ us .. It isn't logical to play the CL w/ only Gila and Pippo .. Though many sources r linking Oli to Madrid .. I think if anything, it will be for next season (at least that is what I hope for)
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.
Guys I don't think this is the case with Oliveira! Milan don't stand by him?? They would have already sold him if and gone for some cheap 30+ year old replacement. I don't wanna comment on his situation cause it may be that he has a special request for the club...

What?
i like many others haven't really seen enough of Oliviera this season to say if he really is good enough to be a Milan player, from the glimpses i've seen i don't think he is but saying that it's far to early to give up on him. He has joined one of the biggest clubs in the world with that comes a certain responsibility that he has yet to adjust to, i would like to see him given the rest of this season and next to prove himself and then after 2 tears at the club we can then make a more reasonable assessment of him as a world class striker or not whatever the case may be.
Well, I was waiting for him to prove what some people on here have said he is capable of, sadly it hasn't and doesn't look likely to come.
Time to cut our losses and get rid of him.

i think we've spent to much to let him go...he has done well, not great, but he has done well.
plus, with the situation with his sister i think he deserves at least another year to prove himself.

yeah I can't understand what I wrote either... what I meant was that we don't know the reason why he's not given a decent play time but I think there is some serious reason, I mean... it's not that they don't "get it" and we're the only ones clever enough to see he needs to play more. It maybe even have something to do with his sister...

But why would they even call him up for the match if he feels that it is interfering with his concentration or something like that?

I don't know pal... but I'm quite sure they do know what to do better than us.

May be to give him some support, to show him that we're with him no matter what
Glad he stayed.

If he was shipped out we wuld have been scr3wed so DEFINATLEY glad that he stayed.
Now it's time for Carlo to actually start playing him and giving him some good support
It's good to know Oli is supported by Milan
The only reason it wasn't done was 'cause of the legal issues about playing for three teams in a year and there wasn't enough time to deal with FIFA.
I'm glad he is stayin for atleast the rest of the season, but seriously Milan doesn't usually force you to stay, so i get the feeling Oli wanted to leave because Madrid was interested in him. Which i think is BS cause he'll never get any playing time under Capello =]

With Pippo injured I think he'll get more playing time. We also need to make him the starter alongside with Gila against Celtic.

It hard to say, what about the moral issue?
If he takes it like "Milan dont want me so why should I care" then he's useless and we'll be scr@wed anyway, and think we just have to see him on the field to know if it's good or not he stayed!
