Former Chelsea star Oscar has decided to retire at the age of 34 over heart abnormalities, according to reports.

Oscar played for Chelsea from 2012 to 2017 and was a fan-favourite before he was sold to Chinese club Shanghai Port for around £60m.

The attacking midfielder played his final game for Shanghai Port in December 2024 as he moved back to his boyhood club Sao Paulo.

Oscar signed a three-year deal with Sao Paulo but according to ESPN in Brazil , the attacking midfielder is now expected to end his career in 2025.

Oscar was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope , a transient loss of consciousness caused by a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate.

Oscar suddenly collapsed during a Sao Paulo training session in November and spent five days in hospital after the incident.
