Chelsea FC set to miss out on Hulk transfer to PSG

Chelsea FC could lose out to Paris Saint-Germain in the race to sign Brazil international striker Hulk from Porto.

The European champions are believed to be willing to do business in the region of £30million, but the Portuguese club believe they could receive a better offer from PSG in the coming weeks and are holding out to do a deal with them.

Hulk has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in recent months and has expressed his desire to secure a switch to the Premier League, although he recently insisted he had not spoken with the west London club.

His departure from Porto looks certain, with bookmaker Paddy Power offering odds of 4/9 that he will move before the end of the current transfer window and 13/8 that he will remain at the Estadio do Dragao.

The Brazilian, who will represent his country at the Olympic Games later this month, is believed to have a release clause written into his contract which allows him to leave for around £85million.

That figure, or somewhere close to it, would be more affordable to PSG, who are backed by Qatari owners and are spending heavily this summer as they look to become a major force in European football.

They have already secured the signing of Hulk’s international team-mate and central defender Thiago Silva and are set to complete the purchase of his AC Milan colleague Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the next couple of days.

PSG are believed to want Hulk to play alongside the Swede up front as they prepare for an assault on the Champions League in the 2012-13 campaign.
