Chelsea Transfer News: Oscar's Future Questioned, Javier Pastore Rumours Emerge
Oscar's future at Chelsea is reportedly "in doubt" after the Brazilian withdrew from the Blues' squad against Manchester City due to illness having been named among the substitutes.
That's according to Matt Law of the Telegraph, who noted the midfielder's absence due to a stomach problem required Guus Hiddink "to make a late change" to his lineup of subs, and Oscar did not attend the game at all.
Further, the Blues players have been informed by incoming boss Antonio Conte he "will demand total commitment" from them, and Oscar is among those the club "could listen to offers for this summer," with his possible destinations including Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus or the Chinese Super League.

The 30-year-old filled in at Manchester City, but he is fundamental at Anfield. He may not play in his preferred position, but he does so from one of power Jurgen Klopp had barely mapped out his way to Melwood before he first commended James Milner’s cerebral comprehension of the game.  “A complete football player, the perfect professional, a machine” was the German’s assessment after a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last October; his first fixture as Liverpool’s manager. Right at the start of his tenure, it was apparent on the training pitches at the West Derby complex that there was very little Milner could not do, and even less that he did not understand.
