Chelsea winger Willian has all but confirmed Oscar’s impending move to Shanghai SIP, insisting that he is already bid his teammates farewell. The Brazilian is subject to a £60m move to China on a salary in the region of £400,000 a week.

On Friday, Blues boss Antonio Conte insisted that "the Chinese market is a danger to all clubs, not just Chelsea" when pressed on the transfer. Oscar’s teammate and compatriot Willian revealed that the player has as good as left the club now.

"[Oscar] has already said goodbye. He"s a good friend and a great player. I wish him and his family all the best. A footballer"s career can be quick, and when an offer like this comes in you have to think of your family. You want to be prepared for when you have to stop playing."

The player himself sad the deal was "90% done" ahead of the weekend, insisting that "only small bureaucratic details remain" to be confirmed. The 25-year old has fallen down the pecking order since the signing of Ngolo Kante and the arrival of Antonio Conte.
