Brazil international forward Hulk has completed his transfer from Zenit St. Petersburg to Shanghai SIPG.
Zenit confirmed the deal on their official website on Thursday and noted the fee received for the 29-year-old is a whopping €55.8 million (£46.1 million), plus potential additional costs. That sum is a record for the division, surpassing the £38 million Jiangsu Suning paid Shakhtar Donetsk for Alex Teixeira.
