From the Chinese Super League to Barca, before Paulinho, basically no one will combine these two things, but after Paulinho, we learned that the top foreign aides of the original Chinese Super League can also play in clubs like Barcelona, and now oscars in Shanghai Harbor have also spread rumors with Barca, and the players themselves are even willing to cut their salaries to join.
Born in 1991, Brazilian player Oscar is 30 years old this year, and his value is 18 million euros, which is the most expensive player in the entire Chinese Super League, which is higher than the top four players, Quintero, Mui and Archimupen. After joining Shanghai SIPG from Chelsea in 2017, Oscar's level of performance was completely higher than that of other players, leading the team to win the first Chinese Super League championship in the history of SIPG.
The 2018 season was the highest season of oscar's Chinese Super League career, with 29 league games all starting, scoring a total of 12 goals and giving 18 assists, which also refreshed the maximum number of assists in a single season in the history of the Chinese Super League. Oscar is currently the highest paid player in the Chinese Super League, and his contract with Shanghai Harbour expires in 2024, while his annual salary is as high as 26 million euros. Although the current Chinese Super League limited salary order, but according to the terms, before the promulgation of the salary restriction order has completed the renewal of foreign aid, only according to the annual salary of 2 million euros into the budget, that is to say, the Oscar's annual salary in Shanghai Seaport will not be affected in any way, in these years of the Chinese Super League, Oscar can be described as a full of money.
According to Maslow's theory of needs, we can know that when people meet their material needs, they will pursue spiritual needs, which is why Barça and Oscar have a scandal. According to the Brazilian media "TNT", Barca in order to find a midfielder to replace the departing Coutinho, so they set their sights on Oscar, Oscar's agent has also recommended the player to Barca. This also reminds fans of the story of Barca signing Paulinho from Guangzhou Evergrande in 2017, but in fact, this transaction is still different from Paulinho at that time.
In the 2017-2018 season, Paulinho was about the same age as the current Oscars, but paulinho was still a regular visitor to the Brazilian national team at that time, representing Brazil in 11 qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, and was also the main player of brazil in the 2018 World Cup. At that time, Paulinho was a plug-and-play practical player for Barca, and his midfield interception ability and confrontation ability were also lacking in Barca, and the Chinese Super League was thriving at that time, and Barca spent a year selling to Guangzhou Evergrande and making 2 million euros.
On the other hand, the current Oscars, due to the early choice to come to the Chinese Super League for gold, he has not been selected for the Brazilian national team for 4 years, and the last time he wore a Brazilian jersey to play, it goes back to the 2018 South American qualifiers. Even though it was the most eye-catching season for Oscar in the Chinese Super League, he was only selected for the national team again after 3 years, played in 3 games, and in the final World Cup final stage, he still failed to enter the final roster. Barça are now in a slump, and many players who could not wear barca shirts before have been given the opportunity to realize their dreams, although Barça is lonely, but for South American players, there is still a fatal attraction. If before the change, Oscar will not be associated with Barca at all, for Oscar, joining Barça only has this opportunity now, once missed, then when Barca eases up, he will inevitably not enter Barca's consideration.
According to the World Sports newspaper, Oscar was even willing to pay the same La Liga minimum wage (150,000 euros) as Alves in order to join Barca. After all, the money he has earned in these years in the Chinese Super League is completely enough for the rest of his life, and the opportunity to join Barca is only once. If he can get a main position in the turbulent Barca, he may even return to the Brazilian national team, and it is not entirely impossible to represent Brazil in the 2022 World Cup.
