Oscar Poses In Shanghai Shirt After Completing £60m Move From Chelsea

Managers are now making moves to try and
strengthen their squads during the January transfer
window or next summer so we’ll bring you all the
latest gossip from around the globe. Today, Oscar
completes his move to China….
Oscar has been snapped wearing his new Shanghai
SIPG shirt after completing a staggering £60m
move from Chelsea to the Chinese Super League
club.
The Brazilian attacker has fallen out-of-favour at
Stamford Bridge this season and has failed to start
a single game since Antonio Conte switched to his
new 3-4-3 system at the start of October.
Oscar admitted earlier this month that he was
almost certain to leave Chelsea during the January
transfer window and a shock move to China has
been strongly touted in the media in recent weeks.
The west Londoners have now confirmed on
Chelseafc.com that they’ve agreed terms with
Shangai SIPG over the transfer of Oscar with the
deal set to go through when the transfer window
opens next month.
The club hasn’t officially disclosed the fee but the
BBC claim that Shangai will pay a whopping £60m
for the 25-year-old with the player also expected to
sign a lucrative contract with the Chinese outfit.
Oscar has now been snapped wearing his new shirt
as he gets ready to start a new life in the Far East,
bringing to an end a four-and-a-half year stay in
the Premier League.
The attacker joined Chelsea from Internacional in
2012 and has helped the club win the Premier
League title, League Cup and Europa League during
his 203 appearances.
This transfer once again highlights the financial
power the Chinese clubs have and I’m sure Oscar
won’t be the last top class player to pick up an early
pension payday by heading to the Super League.
