Brazil striker Hulk is a transfer target for Zenit St. Petersburg, the Russian champions' coach Luciano Spalletti said Thursday.

Brazil striker Hulk is a transfer target for Zenit St. Petersburg, the Russian champions' coach Luciano Spalletti said Thursday.

Reports in the British press have claimed that Zenit could be prepared to pay as much as 48 million euros for the Porto forward, but Spalletti suggested the Russian club may be wary of a big-money deal.

“Well Hulk obviously interests us but everything depends on the number,” he said referring to the price.

“There are also other footballers who we find interesting.”

Zenit’s Portuguese international center-back Bruno Alves could be a makeweight in any deal for Hulk, according to British reports, but Spalletti said the club would not let him leave without first lining up a suitable replacement.

“A lot of people are coming to the club about acquiring him, but if we don’t find a defender of his level, then we won’t sell him,” he said.

Spalletti also refused to be drawn on speculation linking Zenit to Manchester United’s Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov.

“I can’t confirm the situation with Berbatov, to what extent this information has a basis,” he said.

Spalletti has previously said he received extra responsibilities for transfers when he signed a two-year contract extension in February.
