LISBON: Brazil forward Hulk is ready to leave Porto and would like to move to a high-profile club in England or Spain. “I have left the door open to be transferred,” said Hulk. “My preference is to play in England or Spain because they are the most watched leagues in the world.” Hulk has been linked by the media with Chelsea, Paris St Germain and wealthy Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala. His contract with Porto runs until 2016 and includes a buyout clause of $123.51 million. He has been instrumental in the club’s successes over the past four seasons, helping them win three league titles, three Portuguese Cups, two Super Cups and one Europa League trophy.
