Brazilian midfielder Oscar has revealed his plans to return to Chelsea to 'finish' off his career.
The 29-year-old left Stamford Bridge in 2017 to join Shanghai SIPG in a £60million deal that has seen him earn £400,000-a-week for the last four years.
However, Oscar is keen to return to the club that helped him win two Premier League titles, the League Cup and the Europa League.
Oscar told talkSPORT: 'I think about finishing at Chelsea because I had good times before at Chelsea.
'Chelsea helped me a lot to improve and to do what I always dreamed [of], which was to play in the Champions League and they helped me to play in the World Cup and to win the Premier League.
'I have a lot of friends at Chelsea. If I have a chance to finish my career at Chelsea, it's a dream for me. Of course, Chelsea don't like to buy too many older players, which is normal because it's a top team from Europe, but I will try my best to be fit to finish there.'
The attacking midfielder scored 38 times in his 203 Chelsea games after arriving from Brazilian club Internacional in 2012 in a deal worth around £20million.
However, Oscar agreed a £60m deal with Shanghai to bring him to the then-flourishing Chinese Super League in January 2017.
Speaking of Chelsea's current squad, Oscar has drawn similarities between himself and Mason Mount.
He said: 'I like him [Mount].
'Sometimes he doesn't play like me but sometimes, I watch him and I can see a little bit of me there because I also came into Chelsea when I was so young and played good football.
'I really like him. He has everything you need to improve. He scores goals, he does some important things and he knows how to defend and attack. I really like him.'

Oscar was one of my best players back then. it baffles me that he when to China(I think that was a financial decision). But I won't lie this is one of the best 10 shirt I HV seen, I like his style of play. during the time of etoo, Torres, drogba, ramiress, fabregas under morihno, chealse was dangerous and I am seeing them rising back again with stars like jorgihno, mount, Werner, harvetz, pulisic, Mendy and old and experience brooms like giroud, Thiago silva, xabi Alonso etc. If chelsea adds Oscar who is still 29 years under Tuchel the former psg coach that I know well, i assure you that chealse will be unstoppable both in the premier league and the champions league as from next year. bc they HV already start with 10 matches unbeaten, since Tuchel arrive. ça va chealsea all the BEST.

Ifhalo performed well in man United but left from the Chinese league. what of moussa dembele who left the Chinese leg for Olympic Lyon and performed very well and now he is playing on loan for atlentico Madrid In spain and he is playing well. So if Oscar who is still 29 years is added under Tuchel the former psg coach that I know well, i assure you that chealse will be unstoppable both in the premier league and the champions league as from next year. bc they HV already start with 10 matches unbeaten, since Tuchel arrive. ça va chealsea all the BEST. 10 SHIRT FOR OSCAR
