Shanghai move is nearly done claims Chelsea star

14 December 2016 12:42

The new Antonio Conte revolution at Chelsea looks set to not be a bloodless one with notable winners and losers under the Italian's vision of the future. One notable winner has been Victor Moses who has been reinvented as a hugely effective wing-back after spells on loan.

Oscar however seems not to fit at all for Conte and has fallen into the 'loser' category. Conte is reported to be happy for the midfielder to move on in a stunning move set to give Chelsea a tidy profit on the fee.

The 25-year-old has confirmed a move to join former Chesea boss Villas-Boas in Shanghai SIPG is '90%' done. The player has been on the fringes this season, having made just 5 starts for Conte who's Chelsea top the Premier League with a game and 3 points in hand over their rivals.

The January move will net Chelsea £52million, a £27million profit on the transfer for the midfield playmaker.

‘It’s 90 per cent right,’ Oscar told SporTV.

‘It just depends on some bureaucratic details.’

The Brazilian international joined Chelsea in 2012 from Internacional, where he has made 130 league appearances, scoring 22 goals. Honours at the club include the Premier League title, League Cup and UEFA Europa League.
