Chelsea: 6 Reasons Hulk's Drawn-out Signing Will Hurt His Time with the Blues

In the summertime, transfer rumors in soccer are more consistent than the sun actually shining.

And this year is no different with Chelsea, as always, right in the thick of things.

The three latest rumors include the Blues pursuing Inter Milan right back Douglas Maicon, Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetić and Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.

But the big one which has Chelsea fans seemingly split down the middle is the attempt to land Porto’s Hulk, who seems to be be considering either a move to Stamford Bridge, Ligue 1 runners-up Paris Saint-Germain or just staying put in Portugal.

Time will tell and we all know how these speculative stories often end up. Remember the rumors of a Modric move to the Blues at this time last year?

Whereas the ultimate decision to sign the flashy Brazilian will come down to how much Chelsea is willing to pay for his services, how much PSG will offer and how much the flashy Brazilian’s agent Teodoro Fonseca can get for his client, the final decision will ultimately come down to the player.

This whole process has been, and will continue to be choppy, and I think in the long run it could really hurt Hulk’s time with the European champions if he does decide to eventually sign with Chelsea.
