The Premier League giants reportedly made use of their trip to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 in order to open negotiations with Porto for their highly rated marksman.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436, who is arguably the finest player in the Primeira Liga, has found himself dominating the headlines in Europe, after a series of scintillating displays for the Portistas.
Such has been the magic of the Brazilian that an entire continent has been monitoring his progress and the 25-year-old has not disappointed. His silky skills coupled with his rocket of a left foot, has made him a commodity which many clubs long to have.
Amongst the clutch of teams that have expressed interest in acquiring his services, Anzhi Makhachkala and Chelsea remain in pole position to complete the deal this summer.
Both the sides boast financial power which few can rival in the world, but the Blues have a major advantage as their league is far more competitive and their brand name is also quite well known.
However what Anzhi lack in attractiveness, they more than make up for in their wage bill. The Dagestani outfit already Cameroonian star Samuel Eto’o on their books and the kind of salary he is receiving dwarfs what Hulk currently earns in Liga Sagres.
Although on the monetary side of things, the Selecao International will be sorely tempted to join the rising Russians, he has reiterated in the past that he values ambition and the stage to challenge for the highest honours more than a lucrative paycheck.
His statements have made http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 the front-runners in the race to sign him and the Londoners utilized their UEFA Champions League trip to Lisbon by meeting with Porto officials and opening up talks for a summer swoop.
The Dragons value the former Tokyo Verdy man in the region of €100 million and while this has been major stumbling block to transfers in the past, reports from Estadio do Dragao suggest that this evaluation could be lowered if a potential suitor is agreed
upon.
