Brazilian playmaker Oscar will complete his move from Chelsea to Shanghai SIPG in January, the west London outfit have announced.
The
deal will see petit Oscar, 25, massively increase his £90,000-a-week wages at
Stamford Bridge and become the Blues' record sale at £60 million,
according to media outlet sources, eclipsing the £50m fee received from Paris
Saint-Germain for David Luiz in the summer of 2014.
The fee will
be the fourth-largest ever paid to a Premier League club. The current
world record is the £85m Real Madrid paid to Tottenham Hotspur for
Gareth Bale in 2013, exceeding the £80m Manchester United charged the
Spanish giants for Cristiano Ronaldo four years earlier. Liverpool sold
Luis Suarez to Barcelona in 2014 for £65m.
Chelsea said in a statement on their official website: "We thank Oscar for his wonderful service and wish him the very best of luck for the future."
Oscar
joined Chelsea from Brazilian club Internacional for £25m in the summer
of 2012 and made 203 appearances in all competitions for the Blues,
scoring 38 goals and winning the Premier League, Europa League and
League Cup during four-and-a-half seasons at Stamford Bridge.
But
the Brazil international had not started a Premier League match since
September and increasingly became viewed as surplus to requirements
following head coach Antonio Conte's successful switch to a 3-4-3
formation.
He told the Chinese club's official website:
"I'm very happy to sign for SIPG. This is an important day for me to
join my new family in China. Thanks to everybody as SIPG and I cannot
wait to meet you at the club and to win new titles."
