Oscar , known mononymously as Oscar, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club São Paulo.

Oscar began his career at São Paulo, and in 2009, he went to court against the club due to irregularities in his contract. After a series of controversies, he left for Internacional, where he spent the next three years of his career. His displays for club and country led to him signing for Chelsea for a fee of R$61.575 million. After four and a half years with Chelsea, he signed for Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG (now known as Shanghai Port) for an Asian transfer record of £60 million in January 2017. He spent seven years in China before returning to his home country as he signed for his boyhood club, São Paulo.

Oscar is a Brazilian international and has represented his country at the under-20 level, at the 2012 London Olympics and at senior level. On 20 August 2011, Oscar scored three goals in the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup final win against Portugal, becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA U-20 World Cup final. Oscar later described his performances at the tournament as being a \"gateway to the senior side\". His playing style and ability drew comparison to compatriot Kaká. Oscar made his senior debut for Brazil in 2011, and was a member of the squads that won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and finished fourth at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, both on home soil.
