Former Chelsea star Oscar left the club to ply his trade in China.
For several years Oscar was an important cog in the Chelsea side alongside Eden Hazard, Frank Lampard and John Terry but left for China during his peak years as a footballer and left many Blues fans wondering what could have been if the Brazilian remained at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea paid around £25million to sign him from Internacional and he enjoyed four-and-a-half fruitful years at the club before surprisingly deciding to move to China in 2016.
During the Chinese Super League boom, Shanghai SIPG paid £60m to take the Brazil international to the far east and was handed a weekly salary of £400,000-a-week. Oscar had one of the most lucrative contracts in world football and has since earned more than £100m in wages.
The ex-Chelsea star is now reportedly worth £57m ($70m) according to Celebrity Net Worth, £8m ($10m) more than his former Blues team-mate Kevin De Bruyne who has gone on to become arguably the best playmaker in the Premier League. While Kylian Mbappe’s net worth sits at just £35m ($43m) despite being one of the sport’s most recognisable faces after his success with Paris Saint-Germain and France.
In Oscar’s first year away from Chelsea, he was reported to have made around £24m ($30m) in salary and endorsements, as he signed a deal with Adidas upon moving to Shanghai and he was also a Calvin Klein underwear model.
