People with a great future behind them

Joao Felix

Good on him

In December, after nearly eight years at Shanghai Port, Oscar bid farewell to the Chinese Super League, he was moved to tears as fans chanted ‘Oscar Stay’ during his final match.

The former Chelsea star stunned the football world in 2016 with a €60M transfer at just 25, becoming the CSL’s most expensive signing. Despite criticism, he prioritised financial security for his family over international football dreams.

Oscar (2017): “I don’t care if I go to the World Cup or not, I’m only criticised for coming to China, I personally think of my family, and my future. I don’t want to get poor when I am old and live on memories that I played in the World Cup.”

His stats for Shanghai Port:
248 Games
77 Goals
141 Assists
3x Major Trophies

After 8 years in China, the Brazilian has reportedly earned around $208M from his reported $26M-a-year salary!

He has since moved back to Brazil. Oscar rejoined his boyhood club São Paulo where he has scored 1 goals & produced 1 assist in 2 matches.
