Oscar has said goodbye to his Chelsea teammates as he prepares to complete a £60 million move to Shanghai SIPG in January, Willian has confirmed.
A source close to Oscar on Tuesday told ESPN FC that the 25-year-old was weighing up an offer from the Chinese Super League club that would make him Chelsea's record sale, eclipsing the £50m received from Paris Saint-Germain for David Luiz in the summer of 2014.
Oscar was subsequently quoted by Brazilian network Globo as saying the deal was "90 percent" done, and in a news conference on Friday, Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte admitted that he would be sorry to see the midfielder leave despite understanding the appeal of Shanghai SIPG's offer.
