Inter Milan looking to sign FC Porto star Hulk – Portuguese Primeira Liga News
Italian giants, Inter Milan, are reportedly looking to sign FC Porto star Hulk. The Brazilian has been on the radar of top clubs across Europe for some time now but a switch has yet to materialize.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186’s Hulk has been one of the most coveted players in European football for the last few seasons. Ever since his transfer from Tokyo Verdy in 2008, the attacker has consistently gained ravenous reviews for his performances.
With a well-built body and eye catching skills, the Brazilian International has earned praise from all critics and his statistics reflect positively on his scintillating displays. Last term, the forward was able to score a whopping 36 goals, while also contributing
21 assists for his teammates.
His importance to the Portistas is such that club president, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hulk-c16436 is unique and a substitute for him can never be found.
To prevent him from leaving Estadio do Dragao and to ward off suitors, the Portuguese side have placed an unmatched €100 million price tag on their star asset.
The enormous amount has succeeded in its purpose and discouraged teams from launching official bids for the former Tokyo Verdy man in the summer. The only offer that even got close to matching Porto’s requirements was the one made by Anzhi Makhachkala.
Backed by the billions of their Russian owner, the Dagi made an audacious €85 million proposal for Hulk but even that failed to convince their Portuguese counterparts to sell.
Other teams such as Manchester City have also expressed an interest in acquiring the services of the Selecao International but so far nothing concrete has been revealed.
However that is about to change, as Inter Milan are reported to be serious contenders in the race to sign the Porto front-man.
The Italian outfit recently sold Samuel Eto’o to Anzhi Makhachkala, and as his replacement bought http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Forlan and Mauro Zarate. But Forlan given his age is only a short-term solution to the attacking woes at San Siro and someone like Hulk is required to
quell the problems permanently.
With goals drying up at the club, the Nerazzurri are in dire need of an out and out striker and luckily for them the Dragao attacker is well known for his consistency to find the back of the net.
While they have a perfect match in former Vitoria man, the major obstacle Massimo Moratti’s men will face are the funds required to bring him to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
Shelling out €100 million for a player, who is untried in Serie A is a gamble which not every side can take. But despite the obvious risks, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan could do so when the transfer window reopens in January.
