Chelsea midfielder Oscar will not be leaving the club for Juventus, Sky Sports understands.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to the Italian champions, but sources close to the player have told Sky Sports that there have been no talks between the clubs, and that the player will be staying at Chelsea.

Oscar has previously insisted he is “happy” at Stamford Bridge amid reports that manager Jose Mourinho was ready to listen to offers for the 23-year-old.

But speculation has increased in recent days with the possibility of Juventus needing to replace key midfielders Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba.

Oscar scored six goals in 28 Premier League appearances last season, but was left out of the Brazil squad for this month’s Copa America in order to recover from injury.

More from Summer Transfer Window

"We spoke with Jose Mourinho and the doctor at Chelsea," Brazil manager Dunga said. "Oscar's recuperation will take time and he won't be at his best during the Copa America.”

It is the midfielder’s first summer off in several years after representing his country at the 2014 World Cup, 2013 Confederations Cup, 2012 Olympics and 2011 U20 World Cup.
