Porto striker Hulk has hinted that he wants to move to Chelsea this summer, despite insisting that his "desire" is to see out his five-year contract at the Portuguese club.The 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ever since Andre Villas-Boas was appointed as manager last month.
And although Hulk a massive €100million release clause in his contract, it has been thought that the Europa League champions would let be prepared to sell him for a lower fee should the player he request a move.
Last week, the Brazil international insisted his future was with Porto following reports linking him with a move to Manchester City.
But although he has again stated that he wants to see out his contract, he has hinted at wanting Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to make a big money bid for him.
"I have signed for five years at Porto and my desire is to see out the deal," he was quoted as saying by Portuguese media.
But he added: "I believe that it is not easy to pay my release clause. But if any club is able, it is Chelsea.
"If Abramovich arrives with the money, this is positive for the club.
"But I insist that my head is with Porto."
Chelsea are believed to be keen on signing Hulk's Porto team-mate, Columbia international Falcao.
