After the epidemic ravaged the Premier League, although the full return to home and away mode, but its overall decline has not seen the slightest improvement.
Recently, Shenzhen, Wuhan three towns, Shanghai seaport and many other teams are rumored to be disbanded next year. At this time of turmoil, the trend of foreign aid departures is growing in the Chinese Super League. Ndiaye, Paulinho Jr, Wuhan Sanzhen Stancho, Beijing Guoan Ademi and other four foreign aiders have officially transferred to leave the team.
At the same time, Shandong Taishan team's big-name foreign aid Fellaini also chose to terminate his contract with the club at the end of the season, leaving two years ahead of schedule and ending his four-year playing career.
The latest news claims that the biggest foreigner in the Chinese Super League, Seaport's foreigner Oscar, will also be leaving the team possibly at the end of the season. It is reported that Seaport FC has recently received an offer from a Champions League-level Portuguese Superclub, who want to sign Oscar for a transfer fee of less than 10 million euros.
Oscar is known to be the most valuable foreign aid in the Chinese Super League.At the end of 2016, Harbour FC brought him in from Premier League giants Chelsea for £60 million. Two seasons after joining the team, Oscar led Harbour to win the 2018 Super League title.
In order to keep the super foreigner, the Harbour Club managed to extend Oscar's contract for four years at a whopping €26 million a year, signing a sky-high deal before the FA's salary restriction policy was introduced at the end of 2019.
However, in the past three seasons, Oscar did not lead the seaport to win the championship again, but his annual salary of more than 200 million yuan has become a heavy burden on the club. Therefore, Shanghai Seaport has been seeking to sell Oscar in the past two years.
Early last year, La Liga giants Barcelona showed interest in Oscar, but Harbour rejected their offer. In addition, the Barcelona A giants Flamengo also plan to introduce Oscar, and reached an agreement with him to join. However, Flamengo was unwilling to pay the transfer fee, and the seaport naturally could not accept this kind of "whoring" behavior.
Now, the Portuguese super club has made an offer to Harbour. It's just under 10 million euros, but considering that Oscar has just 14 months left on his contract with the club and that Harbour could be disbanded next year, the offer is quite attractive.
If Oscar does move to the Portuguese Super League next season, the Chinese Super League will lose its last truly big name foreigner. Two years ago, the Chinese Super League had many big name foreigners such as Paulinho, Hulk, Arnautovic and Carrasco. With the bursting of the gold dollar soccer bubble, the Chinese Super League has now become rather bland.
Oscar's departure will also signal the total decline of the Chinese Super League, and the competitiveness of the top domestic professional league will plummet to a second-rate level in Asia. In the next decade, I'm afraid Chinese fans will have a hard time seeing Guangzhou Evergrande's glorious moment of winning the Asian Championship...
