The reporter reported coldly On February 28, coach Dollivar announced the 52-man primary squad for the Brazilian team, and former Shanghai Port foreign aid Oscar was impressively listed. Although Oscar was not selected in the final 23-man squad on March 6, he did not give up after enjoying football in São Paulo – his goal is first and foremost in the semi-final of the São Paulo State League against Palmeiras next Monday morning, Beijing time, and he will win the trophy for Sao Paulo, and it is not an unattainable dream to return to the Brazilian team after nine years.

After his contract with Shanghai Port expired at the end of last year, Oscar chose to return to his roots and join his parent team, Sao Paulo. In order to fight for the return of the Oscars, São Paulo also gave enough sincerity. Oscar signed a contract for 3 years, with an annual salary of up to 26 million Brazilian reals, the same as Paulinho and Goulart of Guangzhou Evergrande in the "Golden Yuan Era" of the Chinese Super League 10 years ago, as well as Elkeson and Conca, who joined Shanghai SIPG. It's just that because the Brazilian real has depreciated by nearly 50%, Oscar can only get an annual salary of about 4 million euros, which is equivalent to 1/6 of his Shanghai port. Even so, he has surpassed Lucas Jr. (3 million euros) to become the highest-paid player in the Sao Paulo team.

In addition, Oscar also received a signing fee equivalent to half a year's salary (2 million euros). Just because São Paulo has limited financial resources, the signing fee needs to be paid in 36 monthly installments. Moreover, 50% of Oscar's salary is also borne by chest sponsors. Despite the huge salary pressure, Sao Paulo FC still sees Oscar as a super recruit for the 2025 season. The Oscars will not only bring trophies on the field, but also more sponsorship income for the team.

The São Paulo club's superstar strategy proved to have achieved initial success, with Sao Paulo with Oscar at the core reaching the semi-finals of the state league and being the favourites to win the title. Because of Oscar's arrival, the club's contract renewal negotiations with the main sponsor are progressing well. The sponsorship contract will run from the end of 2026 until 2030, doubling the annual sponsorship fee from BRL 52 million (€8 million) to more than BRL 100 million (€16 million). Of course, this includes paying part of Oscar's salary.

Returning to São Paulo, Oscar was also very good on the pitch. He made his debut in the São Paulo State League on January 23 and scored a pass three days later against Corinthians to help the team beat their rivals 3-1. Before Dolívar announced Brazil's 52-man preliminary roster on Feb. 28, Oscar had another assist in the state league. After returning to Sao Paulo, Oscar scored a total of 2 goals and 4 assists in 11 games, and participated in 1/3 of all the goals scored by the Sao Paulo team in the same period, and his statistics as a midfielder are very impressive.

Recently, São Paulo has not won in five games, and President Casares and coach Subordia have been questioned by the media and fans. Brazilian media revealed that Oscar has become the "psychologist" of the team's locker room, playing an important role in stabilizing people's hearts behind the scenes. The Brazilian film "I'm Still Here" just won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and Oscar posted on his social media account that the success of the film encouraged his teammates. Sao Paulo players and fans joked and played the same name with the same Oscar, which is the same name as the player, which eased tensions within the team and fans.

Off the pitch, São Paulo FC has been in arrears for three months, and the players' patience is close to the limit. Oscar stressed the need for the players to unite and fight for the title despite the impact of unpaid wages. In addition to the trophy accolades, the championship prize of BRL 5 million will also partially ease the financial pressure on the club. In the end, the São Paulo team also came out of the slump, and after two consecutive wins, they entered the semi-finals.

Oscar's dream is to inspire his teammates and bring joy to his fans with the São Paulo State League trophy, just as he did with Lucas Jr., who was already a good friend in the São Paulo team.

Returning to São Paulo, Oscar is still enjoying the joy of football and continuing to lead the team forward. Of course, Oscar still has dreams of returning to the national team: "I'm very happy to be recognised again after so long to be on the primary list for Brazil. I will continue to play in a lot of competitions, the state league, the Brazilian league, the Copa Libertadores, etc., and I will continue to work hard to put on the samba shirt again. ”
