Report: Barcelona to move for veteran Santos striker Ricardo Oliveira

Barcelona are reportedly considering a January move for veteran Santos striker Ricardo Oliveira.

The 35-year-old - who has previously played for Valencia, Real Betis and AC Milan - has scored 30 goals in 51 appearances since returning to the Brazilian outfit in January.

Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo reports that the La Liga champions could move for the forward in the new year.

Oliveira returned to the Brazil squad this month after an eight-year absence, and scored in a 3-1 victory over Venezuela.

Barcelona are currently third in the La Liga table, having won six of their first eight fixtures.
