Milan loan out Oliveira
Afp, Rome
European champions AC Milan have sent Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira on a season-long loan to Spanish side Real Zaragoza, the Serie A club confirmed on Saturday. Milan bought Oliveira from Real Betis last summer for a fee of 17 million euros plus Swiss midfielder Johann Vogel, but the 27-year-old forward has failed to secure a regular place in the first team. Oliveira was a Spanish league winner with Valencia in 2003 and moved to Real Betis the following year. He also helped Brazil win the Copa America in 2004 and the Confederations Cup in 2005, but was not included in last year's World Cup squad.
