In the beacons of the domestic circuit, Oscar has helped his team to win the championship glory with his outstanding performance, successfully repeating the title for two consecutive years. Not long ago, as the captain, he led Shanghai Seaport to beat the rival Shandong Taishan, and lifted the supreme trophy of the AFC Cup, accomplishing the feat of double champion, writing a new chapter of legend, closely intertwining his personal honor with the team's glory, and winning the applause of the crowd. Obviously, the brilliant achievements of Oscar and Harbour have made the fans' hearts pounding, and this season has undoubtedly become their common pride.
However, Oscar's stay and departure has been the center of attention, but the issue is still shrouded in mystery. In a video celebrating the win, Oscar expressed his desire to continue playing for Shanghai Seaport, but he was unable to give a definitive answer to the many questions surrounding his contract renewal that remain unanswered. His reluctance to leave but his inability to make an immediate commitment actually reveals the complexity of the salary negotiations, and it is expected that Shanghai Seaport will do their best.
It is well known that Oscar's salary is astronomical and far from the new rules of the Chinese Super League. It remains to be seen how the Harbor management will look at this thorny issue.
Oscar posted a message on social media praising his teammates for their outstanding performance this season. Many Shanghai Harbor fans have expressed their sadness for him and hope that he will stay in the team in the comments section. I don't know if Oscar has noticed these heartfelt comments and whether he can understand their meaning; if he really sees these comments, what kind of waves will emerge in his heart?
While there has been much discussion about the "window of time" for Oscar's contract extension and salary restraint clause (some speculate that Oscar's contract extension will be reached after the salary restraint rule expires), the issue has not yet been finalized. Of course, Shanghai Harbor has not made a clear statement on this issue, and may be weighing it in the dark.
This week, the Brazilian media broke the news that Oscar will prioritize a return to play in Europe, with the second choice being a return to Brazil for leisure and retirement. If the news is true, the attraction of Shanghai harbor may be greatly reduced. However, whether Oscar returns to his old stomping grounds in Europe or chooses to spend his old age in Brazil, it will be difficult for him to get the high salary offered by Shanghai Seaport again, which will undoubtedly become a challenge he has to face.
