Really want to go? Brazilian media: Oscar is willing to give up the high salary of SIPG and leave the Chinese Super League to return to Brazil to play
As the summer transfer period approaches, the Chinese Super League teams are getting busy, but they also have to watch out for their players being poached. Recently, some Brazilian media broke the news that Baja Liga giants Flamengo will try to introduce Shanghai Port's core foreign aid Oscar this summer. According to further information, Oscar is willing to give up his huge annual salary in SIPG and return to play in the Brazilian league, so it is possible to hit it off with Flamengo.
Brazilian media outlet Antenados Nofutebol revealed that Oscar could give up everything in the Chinese Super League to return to Brazilian football. Originally, Flamengo intended to bring it in in 2024, after Oscar's contract with SIPG expired, but now the situation has changed and they hope to strike a deal this summer. Meanwhile, Flamengo's management have promised to bring in the player, and Oscar's positive attitude towards returning to Brazil undoubtedly makes a move more likely.
Oscar signed a long-term contract with Shanghai Port in 2020, with an annual salary of 24 million euros, which is the most expensive contract in the history of the Chinese Super League and once ranked in the top five in the world. However, due to the significant reduction in investment by the Shanghai Port Club in recent years, and affected by the salary limit order of the Chinese Football Association, it is reported that Oscar has essentially accepted a salary cut, and last season due to a long stay in Brazil and did not return, Oscar received only a small part of his salary last year.
Considering that Shanghai Port has now become the biggest favorite to win the Chinese Super League championship, and Oscar's performance is getting better and better, if he really cares at this time, it will obviously have a big impact on the strength of SIPG's squad. But from another point of view, SIPG currently has no shortage of midfield signings, and Oscar's big contract has put a lot of pressure on the club's finances, and if it can be sold when the contract is still one and a half years away, it can not only get a transfer fee, but also free up contract space, which may also be a good choice.
