Chelsea has announced that midfielder Oscar has agreed to join Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG.
The Brazilian midfielder spent four years at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup during that time.
He is now set for a £20 million-per-year contract in the Chinese Super League.

"Oscar will arrive in Shanghai in the coming days and he will become a member of our team," read a statement from Shanghai SIPG. "The playmaker, who is renowned for his attacking abilities, will help the club push for the title in the new season."
After Chelsea confirmed that a bid had been made for Oscar earlier in December, Blues manager Antonio Conte expressed his sorrow that such a talented player was leaving his squad.
"I am sorry because he's leaving as a really good player and a really good man," the Italian remarked. "I must be honest about this but I also understand him and his decision."
