Part 6/7:
The reception of Oscar's potential return is also clouded by lingering mixed feelings among the fanbase. Nostalgia for his past contributions is tempered by a reminder of his hasty departure for Europe, making it a complex emotional proposition for supporters. Similar departures have left lasting impressions; fans may hesitate to reaffirm their loyalty after feeling a sense of betrayal from star players.
Historically, high-profile signings can prove beneficial, as seen with the likes of Hulk, whose return to Brazilian football has been met with enthusiasm. Yet, unlike Hulk, Oscar does not possess a proven track record of transformative influence, raising doubts about whether this investment will yield the substantial dividends that São Paulo hopes to achieve.
