A spokesperson for Brazil striker Hulk denied reports that Porto have agreed to sell Hulk to Russia's Zenit St. Petersburg for 50 million euros, Portuguese sports newspaper Abola reported Saturday.

Various British and Russian media outlets have claimed that Porto have accepted Zenit's offer and Hulk is now in talks over a contract with the Russian champions.

"This report is false," Hulk's spokesman Acaz Fellegger said.

"Yesterday I talked with Hulk and his manager, Constantino Teodoro , and they told me that what was written does not correspond to reality, adding, that they are in talks with three clubs and also FC Porto."

"I was not told the names of the clubs outside of Portugal that are in negotiations, but staying at Porto is also a possibility for Hulk."

The future of the player is likely to be settled "between Tuesday and Wednesday", Fellegger added.

Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti said earlier this month that Zenit were interested in the player.

“Well Hulk obviously interests us but everything depends on the number,” he said, referring to the price of any deal.

Hulk is under contract at Porto until July 2016.

He joined from Japanese side Tokyo Verdy in 2008 and has since scored 76 goals in 166 appearances and set up a further 55 goals for his teammates.

A Brazil international since 2009, Hulk has three goals and 13 caps for his country and was the part of the silver-winning team at the London Olympics.
