Chelsea
midfielder Oscar is "90 per cent" certain he will be moving to China in
January.
The 25-year-old Brazil international is out of favour under Antonio Conte at
Stamford Bridge and looks set to join up with his former boss Andre
Villas-Boas at Shanghai SIPG, with Chelsea set to receive a reported £52m
for the player.
Oscar told Brazilian network Globo: "It's 90% right. It just depends on some
bureaucratic details."
The former Internactional star has not started a Premier League game since
September.
If the move goes through, Oscar will have a Brazil team-mate for company in
Shanghai - striker Hulk is also on their books.
His former Chelsea team-mate Ramires is plying his trade in China too with
Jiangsu Suning and a second, Demba Ba, plays for city rivals Shanghai
Greenland Shenua.
Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson was sacked as Shanghai SIPG coach
last month, with Villas-Boas taking over.
