Brazilian national team star Hulk has received formal offers from several European clubs, including two Premier League clubs and Major League Soccer. Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reported the news last week but failed to name any specific club.
Currently, under contract at Shanghai SIPG, Hulk's contract will expire on Dec. 31. Hulk has made it clear on several occasions that he will not renew his contract in China, and on Nov. 11, he formally said goodbye to his current club in a lengthy Instagram post.
“I will not renew my contract. Since the announcement, I have received many offers from Brazil and some European countries such as Turkey, Portugal, England, Spain, Italy, and Germany,” Hulk said in July. "I am not primarily interested in money," Hulk, who is the second most expensive signing in the history of the Chinese Super League, said at the time.

Hulk, whose current market value is €5 million, has previously starred for Porto and Zenit in Europe before making the move to China. Together, Porto, Zenit, and Shanghai paid €114.8 million for the 48th time Brazilian national team player—only 22 players accumulated higher transfer fees throughout their careers.
