Hulk won´t force Porto move, says agent

The agent of Porto forward Hulk says the Brazil international will only change clubs if the Liga Sagres leaders agree to a transfer.

Hulk has been linked with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, but Porto are determined to hold on to the 25-year-old and the player has no intention of forcing an exit.

“I do not think he wants to leave Porto. He is satisfied, he likes the club and the city,” agent Teodoro Fonseca told O Jogo.

“Porto have always respected him and he will never force his way out of the club. He is not a player to pick fights and everything that could be done would be done together with the club and never behind their back.”

“Like any other player, Hulk wants to play in a more attractive competition. One day, he will sit down with Porto and both parties will think that his cycle is over, just like it happened with Deco and Lisandro Lopez in the past. His release clause (reportedly 100 million euros) is a figure that does not mean anything.”

Fonseca said his client would not leave Porto for just any club and eventually wanted to join one of Europe’s top teams.

“I only received three offers at the start of the season, but Hulk turned them down right away. They were all better than Porto, financially speaking, but he wanted to play against Barcelona and then in the Champions League,” he said.

“It is true that he would never accept an offer from Atletico Madrid. Hulk is not motivated by money, but by sporting ambition, love and affection. And he acknowledges all Porto have done for him. He wants a team which fights for titles, which plays in the Champions League and has a great project.”

Hulk is under contract with Porto until June 2016, and has scored 11 goals in all competitions this campaign.
