Chelsea target Hulk open to move
Chelsea are on high alert after transfer target Hulk admitted he could be tempted by a move away from Porto. [LNB]The 25-year-old powerhouse, who thrived under current Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas in Portugal, faces an uncertain future at the Champions League club having been dogged by off-field issues. [LNB] Incredible: Porto's Hulk has a buyout clause which, if met, would make him the world's most expensive player[LNB]Hulk's astronomical buy-out clause of ?87.5million, a world record fee, proved to be a stumbling block for many clubs in the summer, with Tottenham and Inter Milan both interested parties at one point. [LNB]The Brazilian, who could face jail after it was announced he will be charged with four other players for an alleged assault on two security guards during a Portuguese Liga game in 2009, has a wealth of options should he decide to engineer a move away. [LNB]However he insists he will not force an exit.[LNB] Feeling Blue: The striker thrived under Andre Villas-Boas[LNB]'I have no preference in any particular league,' he said. 'England, Spain and even Italy and Germany have good qualities, but it's also nice to play in the Portuguese league.[LNB]'I've been in Porto for three years, and although there is speculation about my future I am only focused on my club. I have a contract here for five years. If I ever have to go then I will, but I am very confident about my future.[LNB]'Porto value me at €100m (?87.6m) and that would be a world-record transfer, but I prefer to do my talking on the pitch with humility and the desire to always prove myself.[LNB]'There are rumours that clubs in England and Italy are interested in me, but I will only concentrate on Porto. If something has to happen in January or at the end of the season then it will happen.[LNB]'I don't know of anything concrete. I have no preference in any particular league. England, Spain and even Italy and Germany have good qualities, but it's also nice to play in the Portuguese league.'
