In a remarkable display of putting health above wealth, Oscar, the high-earning footballer from São Paulo Football Club, has decided to walk away from his lucrative contract. The 34-year-old midfielder, who earns R$3 million per month and stands to earn a jackpot of R$72 million over the next 24 months, is putting his life and well-being first.

“Oscar put his life above football and the money he could earn until the end of his contract with São Paulo. He made it clear that there is nothing better and more important than life. Thus, she has already announced that she is leaving the club this month, shrugging off the two years she still had with Tricolor. He hopes that São Paulo management understands his decision. There are fines, but they must be handled amicably.”

Oscar’s decision comes after he fainted in November at the CT da Barra Funda while preparing for the next season. He was subsequently diagnosed with vasovagal syncope arrhythmia and, despite doctors reassuring him, his family Members were firmly against his return to the sport. Oscar, who looked healthy during his visit to the training center last week, has decided to heed their advice.

São Paulo Supports Oscar’s Decision

São Paulo FC has been supportive of Oscar’s decision, with director Julio Casares and Carlos Belmonte stating that the contract is “the least important thing at this moment.” The club is open to discussing other roles for Oscar and even mentioned the possibility of disability retirement.

Oscar’s Future and São Paulo’s Next Steps

With Oscar’s departure, there is a possibility that he may remain at the club in a different role. The tricolor board has not yet commented on how they might fill the void left by Oscar in the squad. The midfielder’s absence creates an opportunity for new signings, with Crespo’s team needing a quality midfielder to lead the attack.
