Chelsea transfer news
The 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Serie A giants Juventus in the next transfer window by the Daily Mail, has been a hugely important player for the Blues this season as they look set to win the Premier League title for the first time in five years.
Still, it may be that Chelsea could be about to lose the influential attacking midfielder as bids possibly look set to come in this summer, with Oscar not necessarily guaranteed a first-team place in Jose Mourinho’s starting lineup.
The Portuguese coach has always shown he isn’t afraid of offloading big names if needed, with the likes of Juan Mata and David Luiz being shown the door since his return to Stamford Bridge for a second spell in charge last season.
