Chelsea’s misfortunes have shocked one and all. The defending Champions are currently involved in a relegation battle. While it might not seem right, the troubles can definitely be attributed to a number of players including the Brazilian. He has bagged just a solitary goal in the nine league appearances he has made so far this season.
In light of such events, it comes as a surprise that reigning Serie A Champions Juventus are keen to bring the midfielder to Turin in a deal that will see Chelsea rake in a cool £29 million for an underperforming player.
The motive behind Juventus’ push for Oscar is their management’s belief that this dip in form is only temporary and they should buy him at a time when his value has plummeted to unrealistic levels. The loss of Arturo Vidal to Bayern and Pirlo to New York City might have forced Juventus’ hand in this deal and we believe Chelsea will be more than willing to off load the player at the mentioned price.
