CONFIRMED Oscar leaves Chelsea in record-breaking £60m switch to Shanghai SIPG as Blues confirm star’s exit
Chelsea have agreed to sell Oscar to Chinese club Shanghai International Port Group Football Club for a fee of around £60m.
The Brazil midfielder will leave Stamford Bridge when the transfer window opens at the start of January, 12 months after compatriot and former Blues team-mate Ramires joined Jiangsu Suning.
Oscar arrived in London in 2012 and went on to win the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup during his four-and-a-half-year stay.
The 25-year-old has featured just 11 times since Antonio Conte was appointed, but the Blues manager said this month he was sad to be losing a player who scored 38 goals in 203 appearances.
"Oscar is a really good player," Conte said. "A good player. For me, I was very proud to have him in my squad and have him as my player. I'm proud of his attitude, his commitment and his behaviour, which have been fantastic.
"I have great respect for every decision made by a single player. If you ask me, 'are you sorry?', then yes, I am sorry. I must be honest about this. But, also, I understand him and his decision."
Oscar's manager at Shanghai will be former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas.
