Chelsea rejected a £58 million offer from Jiangsu Suning for Oscar.

Jiangsu, managed by former Chelsea defender Dan Petrescu, are making their presence felt in the European transfer market and have already paid around £25 million to take Ramires from Stamford Bridge, as well as beating Liverpool to the signing of Alex Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal worth £38.5 million.

Asked about the Oscar bid in his news conference to preview Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United, interim manager Guus Hiddink replied: "Ramires had a great offer [from Jiangsu] and everyone agreed. Oscar is just for me speculation and we don't go into that."
