Oscar has been a shining star in the domestic arena, helping his team to win the crown and defend it for the second consecutive year with his outstanding performance. Not long ago, as the captain, he led Shanghai Harbor to win the AFC Cup again by defeating Shandong Taishan, accomplishing the feat of double championships. This legendary story not only engraved his name into the team's history, but also won the applause of the crowd. Clearly, Oscar's success compliments Seaport's, and the fans are cheering that this season is undoubtedly theirs.
However, the mystery of Oscar's stay has become the center of attention. Although he had revealed his will to stay in the team in the winning video, the clouds of doubt over his contract renewal have not yet cleared, and he was unable to give a clear commitment. His reluctance to leave and his inability to make a decision have led to speculation about the complexity of salary negotiations. Harbor may need to be more proactive.
It remains to be seen how management feels about Oscar's high salary, which is a far cry from the new rules of the Chinese Super League.
On social media, Oscar posted a message praising his teammates for their performance this season, and Shanghai Harbour fans have expressed their wish for him to stay in the comments. Does Oscar pay attention to these messages and can he relate to them? If he sees these sincere wishes, what will he feel in his heart?
The "window of time" for Oscar's contract extension and salary restrictions was hotly debated, with some speculating that he would agree to an extension once the salary restrictions were lifted. However, this speculation has not yet been confirmed. Shanghai Seaport has remained silent on the issue, perhaps weighing its response.
This week, the Brazilian media revealed that Oscar will prioritize European development, and if this news is true, the chances of Shanghai seaport will become slim. But whether he chooses to return to Europe or to Brazil to enjoy a leisurely life, it will be difficult to get the high salary offered by Shanghai, which will undoubtedly become a major challenge for him.
