Former Chelsea midfielder, Oscar, has revealed his plans to return to Stamford Bridge to ‘finish’ off his career.
The Brazilian left Chelsea in 2017 to join Chinese side, Shanghai SIPG, in a £60m deal that has seen him earn £400,000-a-week salary for the last four years.
However, the 29-year-old is keen to return to the West London club that helped him win two English Premier League titles, the League Cup and the UEFA Europa League.
“I think about finishing at Chelsea because I had good times before at Chelsea,” Oscar told talkSPORT.
“Chelsea helped me a lot to improve and to do what I always dreamed [of], which was to play in the Champions League, and they helped me to play in the World Cup and to win the Premier League.
“I’ve a lot of friends at Chelsea. If I’ve a chance to finish my career at Chelsea, it is a dream for me. Of course, Chelsea does not like to buy too many older players, which is normal because it is a top team from Europe, but I’ll try my best to be fit to finish there.”
Oscar netted 38 goals in 203 appearances for Chelsea after arriving from Brazilian side Internacional in 2012 in a deal worth around £20m.
In another news, Chelsea goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy, has named the four Chelsea players that helped him settle in at Stamford Bridge.
Mendy joined Chelsea last summer transfer window from Rennes in September. The Senegalese signed a five-year deal that will see him remain at Chelsea until 2025.
The 28-year-old has already become the Blues manager, Frank Lampard’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Mendy said N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud and Kurt Zouma and Blues captain Cesar Azpilicueta have helped him settle at the West London club.
“There are a lot of French players here that have helped me settle in such as Kurt Zouma, Olivier Giroud and N’Golo Kante,” Mendy told Chelsea’s official website.
“And then there is Cesar Azpilicueta, who spent time at Marseille and can also speak French. As soon as I arrived, he asked if there was anything he could do for me, which was really nice.
