O Manchester United está a preparar a contratação do avançado brasileiro do FC Porto Hulk no final da temporada, noticia este domingo o jornal britânico News of The World.Alex Ferguson é um confesso admirador do avançado portista e estará a preparar o reforço da linha ofensiva dos red devils.
Hulk tem uma cláusula de rescisão fixada em 100 milhões de euros, mas o tablóide britânico indica que uma oferta a rondar os 22,7 milhões de euros poderá ser suficiente para a contratação.
O jornal cita o agente do jogador, Teodoro Fonseca, como tendo indicado que «os grandes clubes de Inglaterra têm-nos contactado».
MANCHESTER UNITED are weighing up a £20million bid for Brazilian striker Hulk.
Sir Alex Ferguson is an admirer of the Porto star and wants to strengthen his forward line as he bids for a fourth successive Premier League title.
The Brazil international has a clause in his contract that says he cannot be released for less than 100m euros, but sources at the Portuguese club say a realistic offer of around £20m would see Hulk leave the Estadio do Dragao at the end of the season.
"The big clubs in England have been in contact," said the player's agent Teodoro Fonseca.
"They have asked for details about his contract situation but any decision about his future rests mainly with the directors of Porto.
"I am calm about the situation and so is the player because he has an excellent future. I think we could be discussing a move in April or May."
A switch to United could spell the end for England striker Michael Owen, who has struggled to make an impact since signing a two-year contract last summer.
Hulk, 23, whose real name is Givanildo Vieira de Souza, has four years left on his contract and is also rated highly by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
The Frenchman saw him play at the Emirates in last season's Champions League but would almost certainly be outbid by United.
Fergie is believed to like the physical attributes the striker could add to his side after he lost Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez last summer.
Hulk made his Brazil debut against England in November and now has two caps. He is likely to be named in his country's World Cup squad.
He got his nickname because of his stocky appearance and his likeness to actor Lou Ferrigno, who played the comic book hero.
"Hulk would be a good investment for United," said a Porto source.
"He has the quality to be a superstar in England and his club will have no choice but to take a big offer for him very seriously."
Devem ser doidos! Ou não? Com cláusula de 100 querem oferecer 20! Só se for punido por vários meses, aí desvaloriza-se. Mas não acredito neste cenário!
