# Wolves: Fans stunned by Nuno Espirito Santo’s decision to reject Hulk

**Many Wolverhampton Wanderers fans were left stunned by the update involving free agent Hulk.**

[Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/wolves-offered-hulk-to-replace-jimenez/) reported earlier in the week that the West Midlands outfit had been offered the Brazilian star, who was recently released by the Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG.

But on Friday, [the same publication](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-nuno-makes-up-mind-after-wolves-offered-chance-to-sign-hulk/#:~:text=Wolves%20have%20been%20rejected%20the,for%20the%20injured%20Raul%20Jimenez.) revealed that Nuno Espirito Santo turned down the chance to bring the 34-year-old to Molineux due to his age and wage demands, having been paid an eye-watering salary of £450k-a-week (via [Salary Sport](https://salarysport.com/football/player/hulk/)).

With Raul Jimenez ruled out with a [fractured skull](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13430874/jimenez-wolves-fractured-skull-injury/), Wolves lack a proven goalscorer. During his career, Hulk has scored [303](https://www.transfermarkt.com/hulk/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/80562) goals with six different clubs.

With this in mind, supporters believe that Nuno is making a grave error and should reconsider, with their Mexican star sidelined for a considerable amount of time.
