Spanish champions Barcelona have reportedly joined Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign FC Porto’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436.
Pep Guardiola’s men have redefined the game over the last couple of seasons with their performances and boast a plethora of stars in their ranks. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who is undoubtedly the finest player in the world, is backed by the brilliance of Andres Iniesta
and Xavi Hernandez in the centre of the park.
Furthermore, summer additions at the Nou Camp such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Villa’s leg break at the FIFA
Club World Cup.
The Spanish International is joined by promising youngster Isaac Cuenca on the sidelines, which has left Barca’s front-line exposed. Both the players are out for the season and in order to catch up with arch-rivals Real Madrid, Guardiola has been monitoring
the progress of Hulk.
Plying his trade at Estadio do Dragao since 2008, the Selecao International has become one of the most coveted players in Europe after churning out some scintillating displays. His statistics speak for themselves, as the 25-year-old has netted 67 times in
150 appearances and also has a whopping 50 assists to his name.
With his potential, a number of top European teams have been looking to acquire his services for the past few seasons but Porto have remained adamant that their prized asset is not for sale.
Russian giants Anzhi Makhachkala had an €87 million offer for the Brazilian rejected last summer but that hasn’t deterred the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea from pursuing their interest.
Both clubs are backed by their ultra-rich owners and boast the necessary financial muscle to lure the former Tokyo Verdy man to either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Hulk’s agent has also commented on a potential move and said that his client would only agree to switch
for sporting ambition rather than money.
"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,” Teodoro http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fonseca-c13888 was quoted as saying.
A transfer to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, Hulk would show his desire to reach the highest echelon of football.
However http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 are determined to gain the most out of a potential move and have said that nothing other than €100 million would suffice when it comes to their star player. As Barca do not have that kind of spending power, it remains to be seen whether
retain their interest in Hulk or search for new targets.
