MADRID, Spain (AP) - Zaragoza signed Brazil striker Ricardo Oliveira to a permanent deal after having him on loan from AC Milan this season.
Oliveira agreed to a four-year contract in a deal that reportedly cost Zaragoza €10 million (US$15.75 million).
The 27-year-old forward scored 17 league goals for Zaragoza this season, but failed to prevent the team from finishing in 18th place and being relegated.
Zaragoza, which faces a loss of revenue from playing in the second-tier league, could try to make a profit by selling Oliveira on to another team.
Oliveira joined Milan from Real Betis in 2006 but failed to make an impact. He previously played for Valencia and Brazilian clubs Portuguesa and Santos. He also had a loan spell with Sao Paulo earlier in 2006.
