Brazilian Midfielder Oscar Sends Subtle Plea to Chelsea, Years After Leaving Club

• Brazilian midfielder spent four successful years at Stamford Bridge
• He left Chelsea in 2016 to seal a lucrative move to the Chinese Super League
• The move was questioned by many because he was at his peak in European football

Brazilian midfielder Oscar is flirting with Chelsea and would be open to a return to London to finish his career at Stamford Bridge.

He joined Chelsea from Internacional in 2012, after the Blues lifted their first UEFA Champions League and quickly formed a deadly trio with Juan Mata and Eden Hazard.

The trio lit up Europe in the 2012/13 season and helped Chelsea win the Europa League, becoming the first to hold both simultaneously.

Juan Mata was the first to depart after falling out of favour under Jose Mourinho; he left for Manchester United. Oscar left in 2016 to join Shanghai Port, and the last, Hazard joined Real Madrid in 2019.

Oscar reveals Chelsea’s dream

According to The Guardian, the 31-year-old admitted that financial rewards motivated his move to China at 24. He claimed he thought about his family ahead of his career.

He has repeatedly reiterated the desire to return to Europe to finish his career, but the opportunity is yet to arrive. Recently, he spoke about Chelsea and clarified that he would love one more time at the club.

“It’s of course a dream to come back to Chelsea,” the Brazilian told talkSPORT. “Everyone knows the passion that I have for this club.

“I have a lot of good memories from there... I still have dreams to play for this team. So if I can come back to Europe or to Chelsea, then hopefully we can talk.”

Oscar also had words for embattled star Mason Mount, who could leave the club at the end of the season at a similar age as the former Santos star left. He advised him and the club to find a solution to remain together.
