Porto president Pinto Da Costa has rubbished claims Milan could sign Hulk this summer and insisted the striker will not be allowed to leave for less than €100 million.

Hulk, 24, has been a key part of Porto’s success this season, with the team having already clinched the league title and poised to secure a place in the Europa League final.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani recently said: “Our transfer campaign will run from May 30, but I do like Hulk a lot.”

However, Da Costa has rubbished suggestions they could afford Hulk.

“Hulk to Milan must be a joke,” Da Costa told Record. “They previously wanted Cissokho and they could not do it. They got that story about his teeth as an excuse, when in fact Cissokho has better teeth than I do. It is ridiculous.

“We’ve not had any offers for any players at the moment, but whoever wants to sign them will have to meet their release clauses. Hulk’s is set at €100 million and I won’t let him go even if someone offered me €99 million. You either pay that figure or nothing.”
