The agent of Chelsea target Hulk has hinted that the Brazilian could snub a move to the Premier League after Zenit St Petersburg entered the running for the Brazilian’s signature.

The Stamford Bridge side have long been admirers of the 26-year-old Porto striker – real name Givanildo Vieira de Souza – but the Russian side have reportedly offered the Portguese outfit £40 million plus central defender Bruno Alves into the bargain.

Now Hulk’s agent Teodoro Fonseca has cast doubt on a move to England, saying: “Sometimes we want a player to continue, but the conditions do not allow it to happen.

“Who would not play in the Premier League, for Chelsea or one of the other big clubs?

“But sometimes clubs have to give up a right, a player or a person in order to keep the whole structure.

“People come and go and the clubs continue.”
