Porto sriker Hulk has poured cold water over reports of a move to Chelsea.

The powerful Brazilian forward says he is focussed on preparations for the Olympics after the 25-year-old was chosen as one of the over-age players in the squad.

"I have done nothing with Chelsea or any other club," stated Hulk to Lancenet.
 
"I have four more years on my contract with Porto and I'm focusing on the national team.
 
"I haven't talked to anyone. As everyone knows, I don't follow negotiations closely as that will make me lose my focus. I let my agent deal with that stuff."

Hulk has been mooted as a long-term target for Chelsea while Paris St Germain are also reportedly interested in the player.
 
Porto president Pinto da Costa, speaking to reporters at a political event in Gaia, added that the club had yet to receive a bid for Hulk.

"I don't know why you ask me about Hulk and don't ask me about Helton, Moutinho, James (Rodriguez), Maicon and the others," he said. "Hulk is as close to leaving as the others. For other players, there have been some approaches. Until now, nothing has arrived for Hulk."

Porto are reported to want a fee of around €70 million for Hulk, who scored 21 goals in 38 appearances for the club last season, but is unlikely to leave unless the fee is reduced.
