Juventus target Oscar not seeking Chelsea exit

Oscar says he is not looking to leave Chelsea anytime soon.

The Brazilian midfielder is being heavily linked with a potential summer exit at Stamford Bridge with Italian champions Juventus reportedly interested.

But the 23-year old, who joined the Blues from Internacional in 2012, has no plans to depart west London.

"I'm very happy here. I get along with everyone, and the club shows its praise towards me. Chelsea is one of the best clubs in the world, so I don't see why I would think of leaving," he said.

Oscar, who has been in and out of Jose Mourinho's line-up recently, added: "I'm very happy with Chelsea's season so far and happy with my own performance as well, but I do think I could have contributed more to the team.

"There are different tactics depending on the opponents we face, and we respect the manager's choices. Sometimes I've ended up not playing the entire match, but I'm doing my best to fulfil my role. I'm happy with my performances."
