No Real deal for Oliveira
Wednesday 31 January, 2007
Ricardo Oliveira will terminate the campaign with Milan after his proposed loan move to Real Madrid collapsed.
The Rossoneri were seemingly willing to hand over their summer signing from Real Betis, but the move was just too complicated to complete so close to the transfer window’s closure.
“It was a bit complex,” noted Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani. “Real Madrid would have been his third club this season after already appearing for Milan and Sao Paulo.”
Galliani was making reference to the FIFA rule which doesn’t allow an individual to play for more than three clubs in one term.
Although Liverpool have successfully managed to get special dispensation to sign Javier Mascherano from West Ham for the same reason, Milan and Real didn’t want to take any risks at such a late stage.
The Brazilian will therefore remain at the San Siro, a decision which also means that Andrea Caracciolo hasn’t left Palermo.
Milan were lining up the former Brescia man as a replacement for Oliveira who would have filled in for Ronaldo at Real following his Milan switch.
Meanwhile, Sampdoria have claimed that the Rossoneri were also interested in netting their star forward Francesco Flachi.
“Milan asked us for several players, including Flachi,” sporting director Beppe Marotta revealed. “But we decided to keep him in Genoa.”

but they let Masherano to change clubs even though it is the same situation.
Please do not exaggerate, starting with the club in question, surely its better than milan calling Inter and asking for Favalli and Vieri,getting Amoroso from god knows where and lets not forget Rivaldo. Going to Inter, the acquisitions of ze maria, Cesar, Kiki Gonzalez amongst others. Man united getting kleiberson and djemba djemba. Juventus calling up newcastle and getting boumsong, zebina from roma amongst others. Arsenal spending 8m on jeffers. Liverpool going to spain and instead of ordering paella go get so much dross like Gonzales, pellegrino, nunez etc. Chelsea spending 12m on Ferreira, giving man united 16 m for mikel obi and his norwegian club some other money. Nah Ronaldo's purchase, whilst seeming stupid at this stage is not the worst, it might have been carricola coming to Milan if Oliveira was allowed to leave
