A day after announcing his departure from Santos, 37-year-old Oliveira agreed to a two-year deal with fellow league team Clube Atlético Mineiro. In September 2020, he officially left the club ater alleging upaid wages and leaving back in June.

After a 2017 campaign marked by injuries, Oliveira still managed to score nine times in the league as his side finished third. On 20 December, after failing to agree new terms, he left the club.

Oliveira scored the decisive goal in 2016 Campeonato Paulista final against Grêmio Osasco Audax Esporte Clube on 8 May. He later revealed playing the match with a knee injury, which subsequently kept him sidelined for two months. On 27 July, he netted a hat-trick in a 3–0 home win over Sociedade Esportiva do Gama for the Copa do Brasil.

On 12 January 2015, Oliveira returned to Santos after agreeing to a five-month deal. He played his first match after his return on 1 February, coming on as a second-half substitute for Geuvânio in a 3–0 home win over Ituano Futebol Clube.

However, after only one season, Oliveira joined Real Betis for a reported fee of €4 million. He scored a career-best 22 league goals in 37 appearances as the club reached the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever after finishing fourth, and also won the season's Copa del Rey against CA Osasuna, with the player netting the first in a 2–1 extra time win.

In Al Jazira's opening match of the 2012 AFC Champions League, Oliveira scored his side's last goal in a 4–2 defeat of FC Nasaf on 7 March 2012, netting three against the same opponent on 2 May (4–1 victory). Two weeks later, he scored all of his team's goals against Al-Rayyan SC in a 4–3 win at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Doha.

However, in late January 2009, Oliveira re-joined Betis on a fee of €8.9 million with commission, signing until June 2013.

Oliveira made his debut in the second half of the 2006–07 opening-day match against S.S. Lazio, heading past Angelo Peruzzi from the goalline in a 2–1 home win. However, he scored only twice more after that for the Rossoneri in the league, adding two more in their run in the Coppa Italia; he spent most of the season under the stress of the October 2006 kidnapping of his sister, Maria Lourdes, who was released unharmed on 12 March 2007.

Oliveira moved on loan to São Paulo FC in early 2006, in a bid to gain a place in Brazil's 2006 World Cup squad – prolonged recovery time meant he never made it but he did continue to compete for the club in all the fronts until 10 August 2006. Previously, in August 2005, he had threatened with leaving the Verdiblancos over economic issues.

Oliveira scored his first official Champions League goal on 28 September 2005 at R.S.C. Anderlecht, following a brace – including a solo effort – against AS Monaco FC in the third qualifying round. Due to knee ligament damage sustained against Chelsea on 1 November 2005, he only played nine times in the league, although he netted four times.

A Brazil international since 2004, Oliveira helped the national team win one Copa América and one Confederations Cup.

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.

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 win 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.

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.
