Oscar, who plays for the Chinese Super League champion Shanghai Port, has become a hot spot in the British media.
On December 29, the British "Daily Mail" and "Daily Mirror" both reported on the situation of the Oscars. The 32-year-old former Chelsea core has made a lot of money since coming to the Chinese Super League: in 7 years, the salary income alone has reached 146.2 million pounds (equivalent to 1.3 billion yuan)!
Born in 1991, Oscar rose to fame at a young age and joined Chelsea before the age of 21 as a central part of the Blues' attack. On January 1, 2017, Oscar officially joined Shanghai SIPG (before the renaming of the port) for a transfer fee of 60 million euros. From the Premier League to the Chinese Super League, Oscar has earned more. Two British media outlets gave detailed data:
When he arrived in Shanghai SIPG in 2017, Oscar's annual salary was £20.8 million (€24 million). The "Daily Mail" also pointed out a "coincidence" - in December 2019, before the salary limit order in Chinese football was introduced, Oscar renewed his contract with Shanghai SIPG for 5 years, and he can still get a super high salary.
After the 2020 salary cap, the foreign player was capped at £27,000 (€3 million) a year, but Oscar was not restricted – he signed a long-term contract before the cap was issued, perfectly "dodging" a large pay cut.
The Daily Mail pointed out that the Oscars' weekly salary is still 400,000 pounds. In the past 7 years, Oscar's salary income alone has reached 146.2 million pounds, equivalent to 1.32 billion yuan.
Of course, Oscar's contribution to Shanghai Port (Shanghai SIPG) has also been huge, scoring 61 goals in 207 appearances, helping the team win the Chinese Super League twice and the FA Cup once. Oscar has one year left on his contract with Harbour and can still add to the trophy.
According to the Daily Mail, Oscar has never regretted his decision to play in the Chinese Super League: "I lost my sense of direction at Chelsea and when the opportunity in Shanghai presented itself, I chose to embrace it. I don't have any regrets, I have my own business there and live happily. ”
Another British media "Daily Mirror" pointed out that Oscar's high salary has brought earth-shaking changes to the entire family. Oscar was born in a poor family in Brazil, played in the Chinese Super League and made a lot of money, and the family directly entered the rich class. Even with an offer from a European club, Oscar is willing to stay in the Chinese Super League.
Oscar's high salary made the British media feel envious, calling it a "crazy income". However, the two British media also have questions: When Oscar's contract expires in 2024, will he renew it? If the contract is renewed, Oscar will have to accept a salary cut and abide by the rules of the salary limit order......
