London is hoping to reach an agreement regarding the acquisition of striker Hulk.
According to the English press, the champions of Portugal are willing to reduce the publicly announced buyout price of the footballer by more than half, from 100 million euros to 40 million euros.
It is worth noting that earlier President Pinto da Costa claimed to have rejected a 99 million euro offer, but now the first attempts by the representatives of Chelsea to start negotiations are optimistic. It is expected that the Brazilian national team member who scored 9 goals in the Portuguese league will move to the Premier League next season.
In addition, the London club is closely monitoring Radamel Falcao, representing Madrid, who formed a partnership with Hulk in Porto last season. The player, who scored 17 goals in 23 matches in Spain, is also valued at approximately 40 million euros.
