Chelsea and Shanghai SIPG have agreed terms for midfielder Oscar’s estimated \u00a360m move to the Chinese Super League club in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Brazil international said earlier this month the transfer was “90% certain”.<\/p>\n
Oscar joined Chelsea from Internacional for \u00a325m in 2012 and has scored 38 times in 203 appearances for the club.<\/p>\n
He will complete his move “at the beginning of the January transfer window”, the club said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Oscar, who has struggled to get into Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side since October, will join former Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas in Shanghai.<\/p>\n
The Chinese side confirmed Oscar “will arrive in Shanghai in the coming days to officially join SIPG”.<\/p>\n
The player, who has won the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup during his four-and-a-half-year spell at Stamford Bridge, will earn a reported \u00a3400,000 a week and the transfer fee will rank as the seventh-highest of all time.<\/p>\n
Conte last week said the huge money being spent on players by Chinese clubs was a “danger for all teams in the world”.<\/p>\n
Oscar’s move comes as former Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez is reportedly on the verge of becoming the world’s highest-paid footballer by moving from Boca Juniors to Shanghai Shenhua, where he will earn \u00a3615,000 a week.<\/p>\n
The transfer window opens on 1 January and closes at 23:00 GMT on 31 January.<\/p>\n
