Chelsea have agreed a £25m deal to sign Internacional playmaker Oscar, according to Sky Sports News.
The report claims the Blues have been tracking the Brazilian midfielder for several months but have now beaten off competition from Premier League rivals Tottenham to sign the talented 20-year-old.
Chelsea failed with a previous offer of around £20m for Oscar last week, but Sky Sports News are now reporting that the European Champions have managed to agree a £25m with the Brazilian outfit.
The transfer is now expected to be finalised in the coming days, with the player due to arrive in London on Tuesday for Olympic duty with the Brazilian national team, so will be on hand to complete a medical and discuss personal terms with the club.
Oscar is regarded as one of the finest talents in South America after a string of impressive displays for Internacional. This form has already landed him 6 caps for his country and it now looks to have earned him a big-money move to one of Europe’s elite.

proper clubs dont purchase trophies, you lot along with man city are the biggest and sickest jokes in the league, without the filthy money you’d be nowhere

you know nothing to call a club “proper”. Look through history and you will realise each of the so called “big” clubs have spent heavily on players and they still do. How much did Real Madrid buy Ronaldo and Kaka in one season? how much did they but Ozil and the rest? how much are they now going to buy Luka Modric?

Its so embarrasing to have people write such nonsense! I don’t whta club you support but you sure need to purge yourself of this severe unhapiness inside you and accept the fact that CHELSEA FC are deserved champions of Europe! We should have won earlier on two occassions (1998 and 2010) if not for ill-luck and bad refereeing. WE ARE DESERVED CHAMPIONS AND IF YOU HURT SO MUCH, GO HUG AN ELECTRIC TRANSFORMER!!

Now listen, WE ARE DESERVED CHAMPIONS AND IF YOU HURT SO MUCH, GO HUG AN ELECTRIC TRANSFORMER!!

“small club” + money + success = big club, or not? 😉
**the fan base is growing internally & internationally as we speak … and as we keep winning more CL, EPL, FA, cups …
personally, i am pleased with that ..
DVL
July 16, 2012 at 10:14 pm
so you’re pleased that you are literally buying success without the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve worked hard from the ground up in building a proper squad. dont make me laugh, ive yet to see a chelski or citeh fan answer this argument with any dignity cos they know its the truth, merchandised club with loads of cash who were absolutely nowhere before the riches appeared, thats all you are

Work hard from the ground up?? Did YOU work hard to build our team up? Did YOU coach the youth up through your squad and help build? Every big club now spends cash to build their team. Madrid bought kaka, ronaldo, Alonso, ozil, ect. If you don’t spend money u don’t compete in these leagues. Please dont take credit for your clubs history. You have very little to do with it. Just enjoy watching Chelsea continue to bring home trophies because as long as roman is running things many more will be coming

I’d rather buy success than not have any success at all. Well if you like, you can be satisfied with your mediocre club (if you have any club at all you support.

Chelsea? Just a small club that won the lottery. Take away the trophies that R A has bought with his oil zillions, and they are on a par somewhere between Huddersfield Town and W.B.A.

Madrid spent £80m on C. Ronaldo, a huge sum on Contrao, ozil, kaka, etc and are yet to win d champions league ever since. Y then, do people go about saying rubbish about chelsea? I bet that aside Torres, Chelsea have paid d right amount for the players they have. D joy we chelsea fans feel will only be felt by arsenal fans when they are lucky enough to win a carling cup in d future…..lol!!!!

The question you have to ask is how can Chelsea be the best team in Europe when they were only the 6th best team in England??? Chelsea may have won the CL but playing a style of football that is ridiculed the world over. They were very lucky against Barca and Bayern not to have been completely destroyed 3 or 4 nil and it was really painful to watch.
stevo

You can continue asking your self this question till your old age. That is called setting record. I bet no team have ever been 6th in their league and won the champions league.
