Forgotten Chelsea star 'open' to joining Lionel Messi in MLS after earning king's ransom in Chinese Super League

Premier League

Leicester

Chelsea

<p>According to Tom Bogert of The Athletic, the 32-year-old has been offered to MLS teams - with his current deal expiring later this year. Bogert adds that while a move to the league where Lionel Messi is tearing it up at Inter Miami is on the cards, Atlanta will not be making a move for Oscar.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Oscar, arguably, made a name for himself when he joined Chelsea from Internacional in 2012. The attacking midfielder played 203 times for the Blues, scoring 38 goals along the way. In his spell with the west London outfit, he won two Premier Leagues, one Carabao Cup, and one Europa League - before moving to the Chinese Super League in 2017. Incidentally, many big names have joined Messi in the MLS and Oscar would add to that illustrious list if he followed suit. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Since moving to China, the 48-time Brazil international, who began his career at Sao Paulo, has scored 68 goals in 220 appearances. When he moved from Chelsea, Oscar reportedly signed a £400,000-a-week ($507,000) deal, in a transfer fee in the region of £60 million ($76m). </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Oscar's Shanghai Port side - who top the table after 17 games - are next in action on Friday against Henan, before hosting Beijing Guoan a week later. It remains to be seen where the next port of call will be for the Brazilian.</p>
