Incredible Hulk not for sale - Porto
Porto have made it clear that they have no intention of parting company with in-form striker Hulk in the January transfer window.[LNB] The powerful Brazilian has long been linked with a move to England, with Manchester City and Chelsea reported to be keeping close tabs on his progress.[LNB]Reports in Portugal claim the Premier League giants have had the Samba star watched on numerous occasions this season, with scouts in the stands to see him bag a brace in Porto's recent 5-0 victory over Benfica.[LNB]It is expected that he will be on his way sooner rather than later, with the 24-year-old keen to test himself at a higher level.[LNB]Porto, though, insist no negotiations will be held in the New Year, even if a big-money bid is lodged.[LNB]They have stopped short of ruling out a sale next summer, but are reluctant to part with their prized asset midway through the current campaign.[LNB]"No footballers will be leaving our club in January," Porto's directors said in a statement. [LNB]"If we receive any proposals, they will be studied at the end of the season.[LNB]"At the moment we need our key men in the race for the title and the Europa League."[LNB]Hulk's agent has also sought to play down talk of an imminent switch, insisting his client's main objective at the moment is to hold down a regular place in the Brazil squad.[LNB]"His aim at the moment is to score as many goals as possible and become an important player for (Mano) Menezes in the Brazil team," Teodoro Fonseca told O Jogo.
