The Hulk: "Zenit" I want to stay for another ten years

St. Petersburg's "Zenit" star Hulk insists that he would gladly spend another ten years among the ranks of Russian champions.

This season has been one of the best for the 29-year-old Brazilian - so far, in 17 matches, he has scored 10 goals and provided 15 assists.

Despite being linked to a move to Western Europe due to his impressive form, the forward says he is happy among the ranks of Russian champions.

"As I have said before, I am very happy here," Hulk told the official "Zenit" website.

"I love St. Petersburg, 'Zenit', and its fans."

"My contract expires in 2019, but if the management and fans want, I will gladly extend it until 2025."

However, the Brazilian also added that initially he was not satisfied with the situation at the club. Nevertheless, he was convinced to stay by general director Maxim Mitrofanov and president Alexander Dyukov.
