In December 2016, Shanghai Port shocked the football world when they signed Oscar for $73 million . The Brazilian midfielder earns $26 million per season, equal to his income during his four and a half years at Chelsea.

However, this treatment has dropped sharply when the Chinese Football Association (CFA) decided to limit the salary ceiling for foreign players to 3.5 million USD /season. This is also Oscar's salary at Shanghai Port before he left the club earlier this month.

However, it is estimated that Oscar earned about 200 million USD during his time playing in China, a dream number for any foreign player playing in the country of a billion people.

In early 2025, Oscar left Shanghai Port with 77 goals, 141 assists after 248 matches, winning three Chinese Super League titles, one Chinese Super Cup and one Chinese FA Cup.

When he moved to Sao Paulo, Oscar only received a salary of 2.4 million USD /season, according to China Daily . The Brazilian midfielder still made an impact thanks to his skillful and unpredictable playing style.

However, tragedy struck Oscar when he was hospitalized and diagnosed with a “cardiovascular disorder”. The former Chelsea star is facing the risk of having to retire at the age of 34.
