Milan’s Oliveira deal stalls

Post by BAGGIO 15 »

Ricardo Oliveira’s transfer to Milan is in doubt after Real Betis upped their demands for the Brazilian hitman.

The Spanish club’s President Manuel Luiz de Lopera is furious with the player, who flew to Milan on Friday without permission instead of attending negotiations with Zenit St Petersburg and Fenerbahce.

Betis have therefore raised the price from £10m to £12m and have handed the player a substantial fine.

Oliveira spent much of last season on loan at San Paolo while he recovered from a knee ligament injury.

The 2004-05 Liga top scorer took his medical examination at MilanLab on Saturday afternoon, but no further information has been released since then.

Apparently conversations are still underway in Spain and reports suggest that Milan midfielder Johann Vogel could be included in the deal.

The Rossoneri are still in need of a striker to replace Andriy Shevchenko upfront and have been forced to change their plans after they failed to bring Ronaldo to San Siro.

Milan’s summer market has not yet scored a top level signing, after missing out on Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to rivals Inter.
