In this contribution we present an investigation of the transport properties of LaSrMnO(LSMO)/ LaNiO (LNO) multilayers. LSMO is a ferromagnetic and metallic manganite below room temperature and LNO is a paramagnetic metal.   In a previous work, we performed a characterization of the magnetic anisotropy and interlayer coupling in LSMO/LNO/LSMO trilayers with different LNO thicknesses. We observed an oscillatory coupling as a function of LNO thickness. In this work we present electric transport measurements performed with an applied magnetic field in the plane of the samples.
