Brazilian star Oscar reveals he never touched $250 million salary in China

Brazilian international midfielder Oscar has made a startling confession about his earnings during his lucrative stint in the Chinese Super League. The former Chelsea star, widely considered one of the most successful foreign players in China, revealed that he never touched his base salary, which was reportedly an astonishing 300 billion Korean Won (approximately $250 million USD).

Oscar, who spent several years playing in China, made these revelations during a recent podcast hosted by his former Chelsea teammate, John Obi Mikel. The midfielder's comments shed light on the immense financial scale of the Chinese Super League during its peak investment period.

While the exact figures and the specifics of his financial arrangements remain subject to further detail, Oscar's statement suggests a level of wealth accumulation far beyond typical player earnings. His career in China saw him play for Shanghai Port, where he became a prominent figure and a high earner.

The confession has sparked considerable discussion about player salaries and financial management within top-tier football leagues, particularly concerning the vast sums involved in leagues that have historically invested heavily in acquiring international talent.
