The transfer had been in the air for awhile and now Oscar's move to Shanghai SIPG is official. After Conte decided to change formations, the Brazilian midfielder struggled to find playing time and now he'll start the next chapter of his career in China. Chelsea announced the deal on their website:
The 25-year-old will join the Chinese Super League team at the beginning of the January transfer window. He has been a Chelsea player for four-and-a-half years, helping us lift the Premier League, League Cup and Europa League as well as scooping two Chelsea Goal of the Season awards after stunning strikes against Juventus in 2012, on his full debut, and QPR in 2014.
Skilful and tenacious, Oscar has been highly regarded by fans, players and staff during his time as a Blue, scoring 38 times from 203 Chelsea appearances.
