The REAL reason Oscar signed for Shanghai SIPG!

Shanghai SIPG general manager Sui Guoyang has said Oscar knew he wanted to leave Chelsea.

once Antonio Conte had changed to a 3-4-3 formation at Stamford Bridge, The Brazilian reportedly knew it was a bad sign for him.

The 25-year-old had started five out of six Premier League matches under Conte before the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal sparked Conte to switch formations.

Now, The Blues have won 12 consecutive matches, and only conceding two goals and Oscar played only 38 minutes during that period.

Dos Santo’s joined the Chinese Super League club Shanghai last week in a whopping over the top £60m deal and Guoyang says Conte’s formation change is what convinced him to leave.

‘Oscar has fallen out of favour with Conte because he has no place in Chelsea’s 3-4-3 formation,’ Guoyang told reporters.

‘It played a key part in his desire to leave. He felt terrible to sit on the bench and not be involved. He is so young.

‘Oscar wants to come back to the Brazil national team. Some of his compatriots play in the CSL and they still get called up to the national team. So it helped him to make the decision to move to China.

‘And of course, the appointment of [ex-Chelsea boss] Andre Villas Boas is a plus. Oscar knows we are an ambitious club.’
