Oscar wants to come back and finish his career at Chelsea
Talking to TalkSPORT (h / t Football.london), former Chelsea midfielder Oscar said he wants to return to the club and finish his career there. The Brazilian currently plays in the Chinese Super League with Shanghai Port FC.
Chelsea signed for the Oscar in 2012 and soon established himself as one of Europe’s greatest playmakers and became a regular starter for the Blues. He even managed to displace Juan Mata, who was Chelsea’s main creative force at the time.
In four and a half seasons for the club, Oscar produced fantastic numbers. In 203 games he scored 38 goals and 37 assists. In 2017, he made a rather premature exit from Europe when he joined Shanghai SIPG (as it was known back then).
However, he has talked about how he would like to return to Chelsea one day and end his career here.
“I think about finishing in Chelsea because I had good moments before in Chelsea. Chelsea helped me a lot to improve and do what I always dreamed of [of], which was to play the Champions League and they helped me to play the World Cup and win the Premier League.
“I have a lot of friends in Chelsea. If I have the opportunity to finish my career at Chelsea, it is a dream for me. Of course Chelsea don’t like to buy too many older players, which is normal because they are a top team in Europe, but I will do my best to be fit to finish there.
Oscar recalled his experiences playing in the Premier League and Champions League, praising the fans and the support he received during his time at the club. While it would be a fairytale comeback if Chelsea brought him back, it really seems unlikely.
