Ricardo de Oliveira (Brazilian Portuguese: [ʁiˈkaʁdu oliˈvejɾɐ]; born 6 May 1980) is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Santos FC as a striker.
He represented São Paulo and Santos in two different spells, but also played in Spain, amassing La Liga totals of 120 games and 58 goals for three teams.
A Brazil international in the 2000s, Oliveira helped the national team win one Copa América and one Confederations Cup.
Born in São Paulo, Oliveira joined Sport Club Corinthians Paulista's youth setup in 1997. After being released by the club in 1999, he moved to Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, being promoted to the first team in the following year.
Oliveira made his professional debut on 24 September 2000, coming on as a second-half substitute and scoring the game's only in a Copa João Havelange home success against Sport Club do Recife. He scored 23 goals over the course of three seasons in the Série A and, in March 2001, equalled a club record by netting in seven consecutive matches.
In early 2003, Oliveira moved to Santos FC, although this was disputed in a sports court. He scored in the group and knockout stages of the 2003 Copa Libertadores, and he appeared in both legs of the final, although his team lost to Boca Juniors.
