Pakistani media: Oscar’s family hopes that he will retire immediately, and he himself is inclined to this decision
6686 Sports reported on November 12, according to Brazilian media Global Sports, Sao Paulo player Oscar suddenly fainted during a routine medical examination and is still under observation in the hospital's intensive care unit. According to reports, it is very likely that he will end his career as a result, and the probability of being retired is "as high as 99%."
At present, Oscar has undergone multiple diagnostic procedures such as cardiac catheterization and MRI. His condition is stable, but there is no time to be discharged.
According to sources, Oscar has been receiving medication for heart abnormalities since August this year. This condition was accidentally discovered during follow-up examinations after he injured his spine during the game against Corinthians. Although Oscar's personal doctor issued a certificate of fitness for competition, and the club allowed him to resume practice, the club ultimately respected this decision because Oscar himself requested that his condition be kept confidential.
It is reported that due to health reasons, Oscar’s family strongly recommended that he end his career immediately and focus on his physical fitness and family life. Oscar himself has also been shaken by his thoughts about being a retired player. He was depressed in the company of his family and told those around him that "it's time to say goodbye to the green field."
In addition, Sao Paulo also tends to terminate the contract through friendly negotiation. Oscar's contract with the club was originally scheduled to run until the end of 2027, but the two parties are expected to end the cooperation peacefully, and the club will only settle the salary arrears.
The media also pointed out that Oscar joined the Chinese Super League Shanghai Harbor (formerly Shanghai SIPG) after leaving Chelsea in 2017. During the eight years he played for the club, his total salary has been among the top in world football. It is estimated that Oscar's personal assets have exceeded 1 billion Brazilian reals (approximately RMB 1.3 billion). Therefore, even if he chooses to retire, he can be "completely worry-free" financially.
