SHANGHAI - Brazilian forward close to joining Chinese Super League club, Shanghai SIPG in a deal worth around £48million from Zenith St Pittersburgh.
The deal will break Asian transfer record of £38m that Jiangsu Suning paid for Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk in February.
"Zenit have reached a preliminary agreement with Shanghai SIPG concerning the transfer of Hulk, and on Wednesday the player will undergo a medical," said Zenit's press officer, Dmitri Zimmerman to the Sport Express.
"Zenit will receive around €56m (£46.3m), while a further €2m (£1.7m) could be added to the total price," he added.
Hulk, 29 year old who has won 46 caps for Brazil and scored 11 international goals, joined Zenit from Porto in 2012. He netted 56 goals for Zenit in 97 Russian Premier League matches and was the league's top scorer in the 2014-15 season with 15 goals.
Zenit finished third last season and missed out on qualification for the Champions League. They will play in next Europa League season's.
