Brazilian midfielder Oscar, who played for Chelsea, is returning to Sao Paulo, where he began his career, the club announced on Tuesday.
Welcome Oscar, what a great addition, read the end of a video posted on the club's social media accounts. Oscar - whose full name is Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior, who is 33 - has become a free agent after spending eight seasons in China with Shanghai Shenhua, where he joined in 2017 from Chelsea.
The attacking midfielder began his career at Sao Paulo and made his first-team debut in 2008.
Two years later, he was transferred to another Brazilian club, Internacional de Porto Alegre, in a controversial move that sparked a lengthy legal dispute.
An Olympic bronze medallist with the Brazilian U-23 team at the 2012 London Games, Oscar moved to England and played for Chelsea, scoring 38 goals in 203 games.
In four and a half years with the Blues, he won four trophies, including two Premier League titles (2014–15 and 2016–17), the Europa League (2013) and the League Cup (2015).
Oscar scored 12 goals in 48 games for Brazil. The most famous goal was the one scored by Brazil in the 7-1 defeat of Germany in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup on home soil.
