Chelsea midfielder Oscar says he is "90% certain" to move to Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG in January.

The fee for the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder would be around 拢60m. He joined the Blues from Internacional for 拢25m in 2012.

Oscar started the first five league games under Antonio Conte but has only played four times since September.

"It just depends on a few bureaucratic details," Oscar told

Conte did not deny Oscar's claim when asked about the situation following Chelsea's 1-0 win at Sunderland.

"The situation with Oscar, I think it will be clearer in the next days," said Conte, who did not name the Brazilian in his 18-man squad for Wednesday's match.

"Oscar started the season very well with us when we played with a 4-3-3.

"Then when I switched to another system, another formation, he didn't play a lot. But I always counted on him because Oscar is a really good player.

"He's young, but sometimes there are situations that are very difficult to face."

The mooted move would reunite Oscar with former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, who is now in charge at Shanghai.

Oscar has played 202 games for Chelsea, scoring 38 goals, and has won the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup.
