Brazilian midfielder Oscar, currently playing for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port, is reportedly being linked with a return to Europe as his contract expires at the end of 2024. The 32-year-old made a shock move to China in 2017 for £60 million from Chelsea. Internacional in Brazil, where Oscar began his career before moving to Chelsea in 2012, is monitoring his situation.

Internacional’s manager Eduardo Coudet expressed his desire to bring Oscar back, saying, “Our only goal, the player we are going to try moving forward, is Oscar. I want to bring in Oscar.” During his time at Chelsea, Oscar won two Premier League titles, the League Cup, and the Europa League, and became known for his impressive performances and goalscoring ability.

However, he left for Shanghai Port in a lucrative move, reportedly earning £400,000 per week. Despite interest from Barcelona in 2022, a move did not materialize, and Oscar has expressed his desire to return to Chelsea, stating, “Of course, it’s a dream to come back to Chelsea because everyone knows the passion that I have for this club.”

Here is the highlight video of Oscar’s skills, goals, and assists that he provided while playing for Chelsea.
