On Friday, "The Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that representatives visited Seville on Thursday and offered the team a ransom of 10 million euros for the forward Ricardo Oliveira.
Also, AC Milan tried to negotiate with a Madrid team in Spain for the transfer of another Brazilian, Ronaldo, but the negotiations between the clubs got stuck.
It is said that the Italian team would try to acquire Ronaldo if the negotiations with "Betis" for R. Oliveira were successful.
In 2003, the Brazilian R. Oliveira became a Spanish champion representing Valencia, and in the following years he moved to Betis. Last season, after a knee operation, the player was loaned to Sao Paulo.
In 2004, R. Oliveira, representing the Brazilian national team, won the Copa America, and in 2005 - the Confederations Cup, but he was not included in the lineup for this year's World Cup.
In the national team, the footballer scored 4 goals in 11 matches.
