Hulk

In January 2026, reports mentioned a release clause of R$ 60 million (approximately €10.5 million), which Fluminense was reportedly unwilling to pay. During the same period, Hulk was said to have requested an amicable termination, implying a zero-cost transfer, while Atlético-MG sought unspecified 'financial compensation'. Transfermarkt's market value for the player was cited at €1.2 million in January 2026 and €1.5 million in November 2025.

Our valuation for Givanildo Vieira de Souza / Hulk is primarily shaped by his advanced age (39) and his contract expiring at the end of 2026. While a reported release clause exists at a high value (approx. €10.5 million), the interested club, Fluminense, explicitly ruled out paying it. The negotiations centered on non-monetary compensation and a potential amicable termination, suggesting a low cash value. Therefore, our estimate aligns more closely with the recent Transfermarkt valuations of €1.2-€1.5 million, reflecting a nominal fee for a player in the final year of his contract.
