Ricardo Oliveira, who has already played for São Paulo in 2006 and 2010, has scored 18 goals for Santos this year.
According to the information from Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, São Paulo asked striker Ricardo Oliveira to release Michel Bastos and Lucão to Santos. During the lunch between the presidents of the two clubs, Leco and Modesto Roma Júnior, which took place this Friday at Baixada Santista, the São Paulo leader informed that it’s possible to make the exchange if Santos are willing to involve Ricardo Oliveira. The idea of Modesto was to offer young players, who haven’t been used by coach Dorival Júnior, like Lucas Crispim, Serginho and Rafael Longuine. Leco made it clear that he has no interest in the list offered by Modesto and even said that Ricardo Oliveira had already been consulted about the negotiation. The journalist had revealed exclusively on Tuesday that Santos had been looking for São Paulo to show interest in Michel Bastos. On that occasion, however, the two clubs hadn’t talked about the names of players who could be involved in the exchange.
São Paulo knows that the chance of Ricardo Oliveira being released is minimal, although there is real interest in the 35-year-old, who has already had success at Morumbi: in 2006, when São Paulo was runner-up of Copa Libertadores and in 2010. Modesto took advantage of the lunch to emphasize that Lucão is a priority. The defender, who hasn’t played since July 1 for São Paulo, was requested by coach Dorival Júnior. Santos still doesn’t know if Gustavo Henrique and Luiz Felipe will be available for next year’s Libertadores, as both underwent knee surgeries during the second half of this year.
