The 34-year-old recently proved that he will leave the Shanghai SIPG to go to the Chinese Super League when his contract expires at the end of the year, paving the way for the Premier League.
The wolves have been asked to move through the former Zenit St Petersburg player since that admission, with the West Midlands holding on without Raul Jimenez for a long foreseeable period after his skull fracture.
However, while Brexit is expected to have a significant effect on players moving to the Premier League from abroad, The Athletic says the Hulk would not meet the criteria needed to qualify for a paint permit.
The report states that the four-year era of the Hulk without representing Brazil will obstruct his chances of moving to England, and with the new criteria on a problem system, betting on the Chinese Super League would see him accumulate fewer problems than players painting in La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 or Bundesliga.
If an agreement proposed by the Hulk fails, Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo would have known Salomon Rondon as Jimenez’s ideal replacement.
