The Times says that the Brazilian star will earn £7 million a year at Stamford Bridge over four seasons and is willing to put in a transfer request to push through the move that works out at a cool £135,000-a-week.

The paper says: "Chelsea are yet to agree a fee with Porto and are thought to have set a ceiling of about £30 million for the transfer - taking the total cost of the deal to £58 million, as well as a lucrative bonus scheme - although Porto remain adamant that they will not countenance his departure for less than £38 million."

Hulk has also cast doubt over his future at Porto, telling Lancenet: "I will always continue to work hard and keep my feet on the ground, regardless of whether I stay at Porto. I have won many titles in the past four years at Porto, and I think that I have a great relationship with everyone. If the time has come to move on, I'll do so with a good feeling. I have enjoyed a great time here. I'm sure that they will understand the motives behind my decision if I leave."
