http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 full of praise for Hulk
Porto president Pinto da Costa has lavished praise on star striker Hulk, saying that he will never forsake the club for greed and added that he was a great man besides being a terrific player.
Brazilian International, Hulk, has been linked with a move to a top European club ever since his sensational performances in the 2010/2011 season. The striker was in emphatic form and netted 36 goals and 21 assists during the course of the campaign.
His goal-scoring prowess has attracted the attention of several sides including Paris Saint-Germain, Anzhi Makhachkala and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. The trio boast enormous financial muscle thanks to their wealthy owners and have been locked in battle to sign the former
Tokyo Verdy man since the summer.
Hulk’s €100 million price-tag has warded off many potential suitors but according to reports, Chelsea and Anzhi are ready to splash the cash to acquire his services.
Andre Villas-Boas is keen to lure his former protégé to Stamford Bridge and is using the allure of the Premier League alongside Roman Abramovich’s deep pockets to entice him.
The Russian club are also not far behind their English counterparts and allegedly made a €87 million bid in the last window, but that was rejected by Porto. While the Selecao International is likely to leave if someone can match his buy-out clause, Estadio
do Dragao chief Pinto da Costa claims that the player will not leave the club in favour of a bigger pay check.
Speaking to reporters, the official said that although he would not be able to retain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 as he was not only a word-class talent but a great person as well.
"If anyone agrees to pay the hundred million, we can do nothing and we have to let him go. But we want Hulk very much as he is a great player, has a professional attitude in practice and is also a wonderful man.”
He also added that neither the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kawasaki-Frontale-c39683 man nor Joao Moutinho would part ways with the Portuguese outfit in search of more money, as they want to achieve glory rather than fill their bank accounts.
"I'm sure that Hulk or Joao Moutinho would never accept a transfer for any money and go to Atletico Madrid, as they are bright and are champions,” Pinto da Costa was quoted as saying.
While Pinto da Costa does not want to let go of his prized asset, Hulk is on the radar of several top flight clubs and they will not rest until he signs for one of them.
