Former Chelsea star Oscar broke down in floods of tears on Wednesday night as he emotionally waved farewell to Shanghai Port after eight years at the Chinese club.
Oscar, 33, left Stamford Bridge to sign for the Chinese Super League outfit in December 2016, shocking world football as Shanghai SIPG — whose name changed to Shanghai Port in 2021 — splashed out a huge £67million transfer fee on the Brazilian.
He was part of the team that lifted the Premier League title under Jose Mourinho in 2014-15, while he also won the League Cup and Europa League during his spell at Stamford Bridge.
During his eight years with the Chinese giants, Oscar has made 248 appearances — racking up an impressive 77 goals and 141 assists.
The Brazilian has also pocketed a hefty retirement fund, earning approximately £160m from his reported £20m-a-year salary in Shanghai.
Oscar is on the radar of Brazilian outfit Internacional, whose manager Eduardo Coudet said earlier this year: ‘Our only goal, the player we are going to try moving forward, is Oscar. I want to bring in Oscar.
Oscar also opened the door for a shock return to Chelsea back in May, claiming he ‘dreams’ of playing for the Blues again.
