Chelsea are reportedly ready to let midfielder Oscar join Inter Milan in a £30 million deal, according to the Sun.
New Blues boss Antonio Conte is understood to be unimpressed by the Brazil international’s performances since taking the reins at Stamford Bridge last month, and is ready to sanction a move for the 24-year-old to the Serie A club this summer.
He was particularly disappointed with the Brazilian’s showing in the 3-2 pre-season defeat to Real Madrid in Detroit on Saturday, believing he didn’t work hard enough for his teammates, but Inter remain interested in the midfielder and a deal could go through before the transfer window closes.
Oscar has made 190 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea since completing a £19 million move from Internacional in 2012, scoring 38 goals, but he appears to be surplus to requirements in west London as they look to improve on a disappointing 10th-placed finish in the Premier League last term.
