ESPN Brasil revealed the shocking news and reported in depth on the details of the negotiations between the two sides. According to ESPN, before returning to Brazil for the vacations, Oscar and his family did not intend to return to the Barclays Premier League, let alone envisioning a return to his hometown of São Paulo, where he moved to Brazil International 14 years ago for 6 million euros, a decision that strained his relationship with São Paulo's fans for a time. But during his vacation back home, Oscar accidentally found that his relationship with São Paulo fans has gradually warmed up.
At the same time, the president of São Paulo Club and the coaching team have extended a warm olive branch to Oscar. Under the enthusiasm of the three parties, Oscar finally decided to return to São Paulo. According to his agent, Oscar's choice to join São Paulo is not due to economic considerations. He will receive full sponsorship from São Paulo without any sponsor sharing the cost.
Oscar began his soccer career at the São Paulo youth training base, where he played 14 games for the São Paulo first team from 2008 to 2010, contributing three assists. However, in the summer of 2010, he moved to Brazil International for €6 million and used this platform to successfully join Chelsea in the English Premier League.In the winter of 2017, he moved to Shanghai Port for an astronomical price of €60 million, culminating the Chinese Super League's Golden Dollar era.
Oscar's performance during his eight seasons in the Chinese Super League has been outstanding. He not only maintained a very high attendance rate, but also demonstrated excellent soccer skills. In 248 matches for Shanghai Port, he scored 77 goals and contributed 141 assists. During his time at Shanghai Port, he helped the team win three Chinese Super League titles, one AFC Cup and one Super Cup. With the news of his joining São Paulo revealed by the Brazilian media, Oscar's farewell trip to Port seems to have kicked off.
