Oscar says it would be a 'dream' to return to Chelsea, eyeing move back to Europe
Former Chelsea star Oscar has said it would be a "dream" to return to the club, opening the door to a fantastic transfer.
The Brazilian spent four and a half seasons at Stamford Bridge, where he helped his side win the Premier League, Carabao Cup and Europa League.
He ended his career in the English top flight by securing a move to the Chinese Super League, signing for the port of Shanghai in a Ł67m deal.
He is still plying his trade in China but insists he wants to return to the Blues when he plans to return to Europe.

“Going back to Chelsea is of course a dream,” he told talkSPORT. “Everybody knows the passion I have for this club.
"I have so many good memories from that...
"I still have the dream of playing for this team. So if I can go back to Europe or Chelsea, hopefully we can talk."
The 31-year-old, who has scored 38 goals during his time at the club, is likely to return to Chelsea, prompting fans to speculate online. One Twitter user wrote:
"Let me cook."
A second tweet:
"I don't know how good he really is against top teams anymore, but I'm really curious how he will do."
The third added:
"It's great to see him again in a season."

The fourth said:
"Low salary, no problem. He's gifted and technical."
Another commented:
"I'd rather have him than have Havertz in the starting lineup."
Chelsea have had a miserable campaign this season and will of course end up in the bottom half of the table.
Mauricio Pochettino was tipped to take charge of the team following the ruthless sacking of Graham Potter.
And Oscar praised the Argentine, saying he could help turn the tide for the club next season.
"He's a good coach, works very hard and Pochettino has a strong squad, they often play as a team," he added. "Perhaps it will help Chelsea next season. I think it will help a lot. I think the players have to show the manager that they want to stay at Chelsea, they want to fight for everything."

"When you play for Chelsea, the players have shown that it is not easy. There is pressure, you have to play to win. When you don't win it gets harder and they feel it."
