São Paulo and Oscar agree contract termination, see details | OneFootball

The “soap opera” surrounding Oscar’s departure from São Paulo has finally come to an end. The parties reached an agreement over the amounts the midfielder was owed and signed the termination of the player’s contract last Thursday. The end of the deal has already been published in the BID (CBF Daily Information Bulletin).

The parties agreed that São Paulo will pay a total of R$ 10 million to Oscar and his staff, an amount that will be paid in installments over two years, as first reported by UOL and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva. The amount refers to signing bonuses, overdue image rights payments, and part of the commission owed to the player’s agent.

During the negotiations, according to what the report learned, the midfielder waived about R$ 50 million he would have been entitled to receive. The former São Paulo No. 8, it is worth recalling, decided to retire after being diagnosed with vasovagal syndrome.

All the outstanding amounts being claimed refer to 2025, the year Oscar wore the tricolor shirt. The player would still have had amounts to receive for the remaining term of his contract, since his deal with the club was valid until the end of 2027. These sums were initially spread out until the end of the contract, but with the termination in sight, his staff began to demand them.

In the view of those who work with the player, Oscar would have been entitled to claim the amounts he would receive until the end of the contract. The midfielder, however, only wanted to be paid for the period in which he actually played for the club, that is, until the end of 2025. São Paulo, for its part, was also seeking an agreement to pay an amount proportional to the time the player represented the club.

Remember the Oscar case

São Paulo decided to bring forward its preseason tests. On November 11, 2025, the first day of examinations, Oscar fainted when he was already at the end of the medical assessment. The player felt unwell while on the exercise bike and was promptly attended to by the team coordinating the exams.

The athlete was taken to Albert Einstein Hospital, where a complication involving cardiological changes was detected. He underwent a battery of tests and, two days later, was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. After the incident, Oscar remained resting at home.

The fracture in three vertebrae had already shaken the player, who suffered a hard fall and had great difficulty moving around for quite some time. With the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope, the warning signs tripled for Oscar, who decided to end his career to avoid future problems.

Out for the 2025 season, Oscar’s last match was on July 19, against Corinthians, when he suffered the fracture. The player made only 21 appearances for the tricolor club, with two goals and five assists.
