With the european winter window closing a week or so away, Barca, who signed Ferrantores, are still looking for opportunities to reinforce. Oscar, the only remaining big-name player in the Chinese Super League, has a scandal with them. For the former Brazilian international, who holds the record of double transfer fees and annual salary in the Chinese Super League, Barca's red basketball jersey has an extremely strong temptation. After learning of Barca's interest in him, Oscar, like Coutinho, had his heart flown to camp Nou.
Of course, Barca is now shy, if Oscar wants to successfully join, must accept a huge salary cut, before the introduction of the most stringent salary restriction order in the Chinese Super League, Oscar and some of the local internationals in the harbor team have completed the renewal of the contract, his annual salary is as high as 26 million euros, and once he joins Barca, he gets less than 10% of the salary he gets now. But even so, Oscar has not changed his original intention, and he is obsessed with Barca.
It is worth mentioning that Oscar's agent is the famous HobraChin, the agent predator holds a large number of south American top player resources, and it was his masterpiece to run Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham United in the Premier League. The former Evergrande core Paulinho joined Barca and was bought back by Evergrande at a sky-high price.
However, this does not mean that Oscar can smoothly join Barca, because at the end of 2019, he completed a 5-year contract extension with Shanghai Harbor, and now that 2 years have passed, he still has a contract with The Harbor for up to 3 years. Unlike the original 40 million euros to poach Paulinho, Barca now do not want to pay the transfer fee on Oscar, in other words, the harbor needs to release its own team core for free, this kind of stupid money, even the rich harbor is estimated to be difficult to accept.
After joining Harbor in the summer of 2016, Oscar became the absolute core of this Chinese Super League local team, in 170 games in all competitions, Oscar scored 50 goals and sent away 101 attacks, Harbor can compete with Guangzhou Evergrande and Shandong Taishan in these years and win the 2018 season of the Chinese Super League championship, Oscar is one of the well-deserved heroes, he is in or out, Shanghai Harbor is two completely different teams.
According to the news revealed by the media, the 2023 China Asian Cup, Shanghai is also one of the host cities, and the Shanghai Pudong Stadium, which was officially completed in September 2020, will be used as a competition venue, and this professional football stadium is also the home of Shanghai Harbor, in order to present the Asian Cup, Shanghai Harbor has issued four orders that must win the 2022 Season Chinese Super League, and Xu Xin, Zhang Linpeng and others are preparing for the championship. In this case, the possibility of Shanghai Harbour letting oscar go is extremely unlikely, and if it is only on loan until the end of the season, it will not mean much for Barca and Oscar.
In fact, according to speculation, signing Xu Xin is actually a plan made by The Harbor for the loss of oscars. If Oscar continues to stay in the harbor, it is not good news for Xu Xin. The reason why he was able to play well in Shandong Taishan last season is very important to the presence of foreign players such as Sun Junhao, Fellaini and Moises, especially the former South Korean K League MVP Sun Junhao, whose defensive interception and sweeping in midfield liberated Xu Xin to the greatest extent and allowed him to unleash his talents on the offensive end. And coach Hao Wei also gave him the core treatment he could not enjoy at Evergrande.
But in the Shanghai seaport, Xu Xin wants to get this treatment is not easy, if Oscar leaves the team, he can still find a place in the harbor offensive end. Once Oscar continues to stay in the harbor, Xu Xin simply cannot get the full ball right in the Taishan team, and foreign aides like Paulinho and Mui are also players who need ball rights and have a strong desire to insert themselves, at that time, Xu Xin's status will be like in Evergrande, reduced to the role of laying hands for foreign aid.
