Chelsea Transfer News: Oscar to Earn Huge Shanghai SIPG Salary, Latest Rumours

Oscar is reportedly set to be paid £20 million a year after tax when he makes his likely January move from Chelsea to Chinese club Shanghai SIPG.

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 and when he makes the switch, as he "has been offered weekly net wages of £400,000 by the Chinese Super League club."

Hughes added that the contract would more than quadruple Oscar's current £90,000-per-week deal with Chelsea, with his £60 million transfer expected to be completed in January.
