Brazilian former footballer Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior, known professionally as Oscar, has drawn significant attention from the global football community following a recent public statement regarding his earnings from his time playing in China. The former player, who concluded his professional career several months ago, revealed that he retained all the income generated during his tenure in the Chinese league. Oscar initially relocated to China approximately ten years ago, moving from Chelsea to Shanghai SIPG for a reported fee of 60 million euros.
His contract with the Shanghai team was described as lucrative, and he subsequently trained until his forced retirement at the age of 34. In a statement that surprised many observers, the footballer confirmed that the entirety of the substantial earnings—amounting to 205 million euros—remained deposited in a dedicated account. He stated that the decision was deliberate, noting, “I decided to put all my salary in an account.”
This revelation has generated considerable discussion regarding player finances and the structure of foreign football contracts.
The focus remains on the management of the substantial wealth accumulated by Oscar during his playing days in Asia. The declaration underscores the financial details of his career transition and subsequent retirement from the professional game.
