Felipe Anderson will return to West Ham United if Hulk rejoins to Porto in January, according to Record.
Anderson is due to spend the rest of this season on loan to the Portuguese side from West Ham.
But the Brazilian, for whom the Hammers are reported to have paid £34 million in 2018, has only played twice for Porto since his early-October move and was left out their last two matchday squads.
Ironically, Anderson was receiving more opportunities at West Ham, for whom he has appeared on five occasions this season.
And his Porto’s chances could get even slimmer if Hulk arrives this winter.
Anderson’s fellow Brazilian is out of contract at his current club, Shanghai SIPG, at the end of December.
Palmeiras and Vasco da Gama are also coveting Hulk, according to A Bola.
But it is claimed that Porto are firmly in the running after the 34-year-old acknowledged he will have to accept a lower wage elsewhere – with the Liga NOS champions willing to offer a maximum of €1.5m a year (around £1.34m, or £26,000 a week).
Stuck Hammer?
Anderson could find himself in limbo if he returns to West Ham, with Fifa rules preventing players from representing more than two clubs in a single campaign.
