Hulk coy on future

Hulk: Unwilling to dampen speculation about his future

Brazilian forward Hulk claims he will stay in Europe next season but has refused to confirm it will be at current club Porto.

The 25-year-old joined the Portuguese champions from Tokyo Verdy in 2008 and has since helped the club to three league titles and a UEFA Europa League win.

But the Brazil international is now the subject of speculation linking him with a move to one of the continent's biggest clubs and appears unwilling to put an end to the rumours.

"I do not talk about transfers, I leave that to my agent," he told Globo Esporte.

"The only thing I will say is that I will remain in Europe next season.

"Porto is a big club and my family is totally settled in the city. For me it is incredible to play for a club like Porto.

"During my time in Japan, I received other offers from Europe such as Atletico Madrid but my choice was Porto and I am content after three years."
