Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has played down speculation linking Hulk with a move to White Hart Lane.
It was reported on Friday that Villas-Boas had visited Brazil's Olympic base in London to speak with the 25-year-old, with whom he has previously worked at Porto.
While admitting that he saw the striker, the Portuguese coach claims that it was not a business meeting.
"Hulk is a very special player for me," he told Terra. "We had a very good year together in Porto and we have a good relationship - that I do not deny.
"But we have just been talking, nothing more."
Hulk featured for Brazil in Friday's 2-0 friendly win over Team GB in Middlesbrough.
