Brazilian star Hulk hears Premier League overtake a loose move in January after an agreement reached in China

The 34-year-old former Porto star enrolled in the Chinese Super League in 2016 to enroll in the Shanghai SIPG in a surprising career move.

But the Hulk says he still dreams of betting on Europe.

The muscular Brazilian – who looks even more ripped post-lockdown – even admitted he “has offers from England, Spain, Italy, Germany and Portugal”.

The Hulk already has to NOT renew his contract in the Chinese capital.

His contract expires on December 31.

And there will be no shortage of suitors before a loose one in January.

Hulk told Brazilian outlet Lance: “I am listening to many proposals from Brazil and many places including in Europe.

“[I have offers from] Turkey, Portugal, England, Spain, Italy, Germany, and I also have an offer from China.

“Every day new proposals come.

“I thank God for having a great demand in the market.

“The clubs stick to me and I keep up physically, it’s helping me a lot.”

The Hulk, who is now married to his ex-wife’s niece, revealed that cash would not play a role, while confirming that a big payday is not the explanation for why he moved to China.

The striker has scored 70 goals in Shanghai SIPG matches.

He continued: “I probably wouldn’t put the money in before football.

“I speak to God to make the decision, to be very satisfied and to continue my career.

“Where I went, I wrote hitale. I ask God to bless me and I keep writing this story in football.”

Hulk only referred to one team by name, Brazilian giants Palmeiras.

The former Zenit Star St Petersburg has played two matches for a Brazilian team: Vitoria in 2004.

But Hulk admitted he would not “fool” Palmeiras fans by committing to them just yet.

The Brazilian said: “I have a special affection for this team, but I can’t say that in January I will be in Palmeiras or not.”

“I don’t need to idiot anyone. I’m very professional, I’d play in any club.

“If I move to Brazil, like Palmeiras or any team, I will do my best.

“In the field I’m going to leave everything there and give my life to the team, whatever it is.

“I do it out of passion.”
