Real Madrid sound out Zaragoza for Ricardo Oliveira

Real Madrid have expressed interest in Real Zaragoza striker Ricardo Oliveira.

The Brazil international was discussed yesterday at Madrid's extraordinary board meeting as they seek a January replacement signing for injured centre-forward Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Along with Real Madrid, Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal also made contact this week and asked Zaragoza to name their price for Oliveira.
