Manchester City target Hulk will not depart Porto in the summer, not even if an offer of €70 million £62.7m is tabled, the player’s agent has revealed.

The Brazilian has been reported as a potential summer signing for City after the Premier League club seem to be losing ground in their pursuit of Udinese’s Alexis Sanchez.

English sources have suggested Porto are open to offers for Hulk in the excess of €41m £36.7m, but the striker’s agent has declared his client’s valuation went through the roof after last season.

“Let me use a Portuguese expression to respond to that: that figure €41m is too short, even to begin negotiations,” Teodoro Fonseca told Record.

“He will not leave even for €70m. He won four out of five possible titles last year, was the top scorer in the Portuguese league, picked up countless assists…all that has to be taken into consideration when it is time to negotiate.”

The 24-year-old, who has a release clause of €100m £89.5m, joined Porto from Tokyo Verdy and has been a key member of the Portuguese club’s squad since his arrival.
