Hulk in talks with three clubs

Brazilian star Hulk is in talks with three top European clubs as well as Porto, according to the player’s press officer.

The highly rated forward is widely tipped to leave Dragao before the transfer window is over, with Chelsea and Zenit leading the race for his signature.

Media reports in Russia even suggested that Zenit had reached an agreement with Porto over the transfer of Hulk, but the player’s press officer has moved to deny the speculation.

“The news is false,” press officer Acaz Fellegger explained to A Bola.

He then went on to reveal that Hulk is in negotiations with four clubs, including Porto.

“I talked with Hulk and his representative Constantino Teodoro and they told me that what was written did not correspond to reality, informing me that they were in talks with three clubs as well as Porto.”

The 26-year-old has a €100 million release clause in his deal, while it is believed Porto are not prepared to let him go for less than €50 million.

The Brazilian international has been in fine form ever since he joined the Dragons, scoring 52 goals in 97 Primeira Liga goals.
