In our soccer field, Oscar helped his team to win the championship with his outstanding strength and successfully defended the title. A few weeks later, as captain, he led Shanghai Harbor to beat Shandong Taishan to win the F.A.C.A. Cup, achieving a double crown and writing a new chapter, sharing the team's honor and disgrace and winning the praise of everyone. It's clear that both Oscar and Harbor have achieved great success, and the fans are cheering as a result; this season is undoubtedly theirs for the taking.
However, the question of Oscar's stay and departure is in the spotlight, but so far there is no conclusion. In a video commemorating the win, Oscar said he was eager to stay at Shanghai Harbor, but could not give a clear answer as his contract renewal is still pending. He doesn't want to leave, but he can't make a final decision. This hints at the complexity of salary negotiations, and the expectation is that Shanghai Seaport will fight harder.
As we all know, Oscar's high salary is contrary to the new rules of the Chinese Super League. I wonder how the Harbor management will deal with this thorny issue.
Oscar posted a message on social media praising his teammates for their season. Numerous Harbor fans have expressed their wish for him to stay in the team in the comments section. I wonder if Oscar pays attention to these messages and if he understands what the fans are saying; and if he sees them, how will he feel?
Although there has been a lot of talk about the "timing" of Oscar's contract extension and the salary restraint clause (some have suggested that the extension will be reached after the salary restraint rule expires), nothing has been finalized yet. Of course, Shanghai Harbor has yet to take a public stance on the matter, and may be mulling it over.
This week, the Brazilian media reported that Oscar will prioritize European development, with the second choice being a vacation retirement back in Brazil. If true, Shanghai harbor will be much less attractive. However, whether Oscar chooses to return to Europe or Brazil, it will be difficult for him to get the high salary offered by Shanghai, which will be a big challenge for him.
