Antonio Conte has described Chelsea midfielder Oscar’s £60million move to Shanghai SIPG as an “incredible situation.”

As first revealed by Telegraph Sport, the incoming fee for Oscar will be a club record for Chelsea and the 25-year-old will earn around £350,000-a-week by moving to China in January.

Head coach Conte suggested the money on offer was simply too good to turn down for Chelsea and he will attempt to replace Oscar during next month’s transfer window.

“When there are incredible situations, it's very difficult to manage this,” said Conte. “My style is to take always the decision together with the club and to understand also some strange situations, some massive offers.”
