Overview
- Oscar, 34, said in a video Saturday that he is retiring from professional soccer after a serious health episode in 2025.
- São Paulo’s contract termination, posted Thursday in the CBF’s BID — the daily registry that makes player moves official — confirms his exit from the squad.
- The settlement pays him about R$10 million, far below the roughly R$60 million he would have earned on a deal running through December 2027.
- Doctors diagnosed vasovagal syncope, and Oscar said his heart stopped for about two minutes before staff performed chest compressions.
- His second spell at São Paulo, which began in 2025, closes with 35 matches and two goals, and he said he wished he had done more for the club.
