He subsequently mentioned that he was more concerned about his family, than of his own ...
After five years at Chelsea and two Premier League titles, Oscar made a shocking move to Shanghai SIPG of the Chinese Super League in 2017. The Brazilian midfielder quadrupled his weekly take-home pay and now makes more than $25 million annually through 2020.
He is currently the fifth-highest earner in world football via his contract at Shanghai SIPG, which runs until 2024. In 2017, the Chinese club signed the Brazilian from Chelsea for 60 million euros and offered him huge wages.
According to Matt Hughes in The Times, the 25-year-old playmaker will become the third highest-paid footballer in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi if he makes the switch, as he "has been offered weekly net wages of £400,000 by the Chinese Super League club."
Former Chelsea star and current Shanghai SIPG midfielder Oscar has been banned for eight Chinese Super League fixtures after he sparked a brawl in a recent match against Guangzhou R&F.

Four years ago, President Xi Jinping had just proclaimed his desire for China to become one of the world's leading football nations. This sparked a transfer frenzy among Chinese Super League clubs, resulting in players from Europe and South America moving there for big transfer fees and large wage packets.
But his club, who were previously known as Shanghai SIPG, did not approve of the deal and refused to sign the necessary paperwork. Even a loan deal was not permitted and so Oscar, despite wanting a fresh challenge, has been left in limbo.
When I made the decision to come here, I was thinking more of my family than of my career. I had other very good offers from big teams in Europe. But I thought a little more of my family, and after that – I am still young – I can return.
Oscar has been denied a return to his homeland with Flamengo after Shanghai SIPG curtailed his move back to Brazil. The former Chelsea man has been playing in China for more than five years after being one of the first high profile stars to head to Asia.
Oscar now leaves Shanghai having spent a longer time there than at any club during his career. He won the CSL title in 2018 and established himself — like at Chelsea — as a fan favorite and one of the best players in the league, topping the assists standings in each of the last four seasons.

In fact, though there are those who have rejected their Oscars (Marlon Brando, Dudley Nichols), only one award has ever been revoked in Academy history — the 1969 prize for Best Documentary, which was given to Young Americans before it was determined that the film was released in 1967 and therefore ineligible.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Lionel Messi is one of the highest-paid players in the world, as he reportedly takes home a $41 million annual net salary, including add-ons. His weekly salary stands at over $788,000. Messi, 35, joined PSG in the summer of 2021 after running down his contract with Barcelona.
