BRAZIL midfielder Oscar will make up his mind about whether to sign for English Premier League giant Chelsea after the Olympics.
The 20-year-old Internacional playmaker has been the subject of intense speculation linking him with a move to Stamford Bridge all summer.
Oscar confirmed he had already passed a medical after starring in Brazil's 2-0 Olympic friendly win over Great Britain in Middlesbrough on Friday night, but was keen to point out that he has not signed a contract with Roberto Di Matteo's side.
"I only had a meeting with the doctor, nothing else. I didn't sign any contract yet and I will wait until the end of the Olympic Games to decide my future," said Oscar. "All Brazilian players have this dream. I have, like everybody the dream to play in Europe and the Premier League."
Oscar joined Internacional from Sao Paulo in 2009 and last summer scored a hat-trick in the Under-20 World Cup final as Brazil beat Portugal.
Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has confirmed the club's bid for Arsenal captain Robin van Persie.
Ferguson says United is aware other clubs are interested in the player, but adds, "we've shown an interest and that's where we're at at the moment."
His comments were posted on the club's website on Friday.
Juventus and Manchester City have been among the bidders for the Netherlands striker, who announced earlier this month that he would not extend his Arsenal contract because of a disagreement over the club's future strategy. Van Persie scored 37 goals in all competitions for Arsenal last season.
