Ex-Chelsea star Oscar sheds light on China move and teases Premier League return

Former Chelsea star Oscar insists he has ‘no regrets’ over moving to China but has hinted that a return to the Premier League could be on the cards.

The Brazilian playmaker quit Stamford Bridge back in 2016 to become one of the most high-profile players to move over to the Chinese Super League. He put pen to paper on a lucrative contract with Shanghai SIPG, becoming one of the highest paid players in world football in the process.

His move triggered an influx of stars moving to China, only for the money to quickly evaporate as the Government brought in more stringent spending rules for clubs. Sides now have to pay huge fees to a youth development fund for foreign signings worth over £5.2m, whilst salaries have been capped at £2.6m per year.
