  1. I remeber this man, scored the 1 only goal after that manslaughter Germany made in 2014 sad to see he was forgotten

  2. Brazil could have done with Oscar at the world cup, I can't believe he gave up Premier League football for money……

  3. If you guys believe taking a financially smart decision is a bad Idea it's because you've never experienced poverty, imagine the pressure of getting out of that hole and knowing your decisions could take you and your family since you're the principal provider back there. I applaud that he tool care of himself and his family instead of taking decisions to satisfy us.

  4. Who cares if he went to China, if he gets injured in Europe is the club going to help him & his family? It shows not because he was money hungry but thinking of his family is more important. 10 million is a lot but 100 million is much better, clubs trade players like football cards and careers are short

  5. Where is Ronaldo playing in 2023? Saudi Arabia. He already have money, do you think he even cares about winning some unknown club in the desert? Should he retire or go for another 100 million more

  6. Yes. Oscar played for money. I would do the same if I grew up in poverty, after all everyone dreams of being rich and provide for their family.

  7. it seems like after his concussion he realized that that injury could cause him to lose all his ability to get money for his family. And that makes perfect sense.

  8. Go for the money fame is fleeting unless u become a legend and even then u are still forgotten or put against good players in that era and are dragged. Go for the money kid.

  9. Oscar was really good. I am no Chelsea fan but I enjoyed watching him play. It was sad to see him leave. He had a Kaka style of play.

  10. His departure from Chelsea truly shocked me ath that time, and most surprisingly, he went to China.

  11. What? 104 million? Dude, who in their right mind would choose working for another 15 years, rather than retiring early? I would’ve taken the same deal, even if I was at Neymar’s level. 105 million is more than 99.99% of the worlds population will ever dream of making. 4 years of my life, for living the rest of my life with my feet up, and sipping margaritas? AND I don’t have to deal with the annoyances of fame? Yeah, sign me up.

  12. He came from poverty, so many forget that it’s not only a passion. It’s their only way out

  13. Nearly every single professional footballer came from nothing and dream of taking care of their family not just this sellout
