“It would be a ‘DREAM’ to return to Chelsea next summer after 7 years” – Former Chelsea star reveals
Between 2012 and 2017, the attacking midfielder played for the team for five years, scoring 38 goals and providing 36 assists in 203 appearances.
Along with winning the League Cup and Europa League while he was a player at Stamford Bridge, he was a member of the squad that won the Premier League in 2014–15 under Jose Mourinho.
After leaving for Chinese Super League team Shanghai SIPG (now Shanghai Port FC) in 2016 for a reported £67 million, many people thought the Brazilian’s career in the top European leagues was over.
Oscar, who hasn’t played for Brazil since leaving Chelsea but has also earned 51 caps, stated he would much like to rejoin the team.
‘It’s of course a dream to come back to Chelsea,’ the 31-year-old told talkSPORT. ‘Everyone knows the passion that I have for this club.
‘I have a lot of good memories from there… I still have dreams to play for this team. So if I can come back to Europe or to Chelsea, then hopefully we can talk.’
This year has been a dismal and chaotic season for Oscar’s former club, with Chelsea languishing in 12th place in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca present Chelsea coach was praised by Oscar.
He added: ‘He’s a good coach, he works very hard and Enzo MAresca has a strong team, they play like a team normally.
‘Maybe this can help Chelsea for this season. I think he will help a lot. I think the players need to show the coach that they want to stay at Chelsea, they want to fight for everything.
‘When you play for Chelsea, the players have shown it’s not easy. It has pressure, you need to play to win. When you don’t win, it’s more difficult and they feel this.’
