The following season it was awarded again, this time to Tokyo Verdy . With 37 goals he was involved in the club's return to the J. League Division 1 . In early 2008, Hulk moved permanently to Tokyo Verdy.

FC Porto

In the summer transfer period of 2008 he left the Japanese club for Europe and signed with FC Porto , which transferred a transfer fee of 19 million euros to Tokyo Verdy. The contract was valid for four seasons. In Porto he scored 54 goals in 99 league games.

Zenit St. Petersburg

On September 3, 2012, Hulk moved to the Russian first division club Zenit St. Petersburg for over 50 million euros .

The ban was later reduced to three games by the Portuguese Football Association . The President of the Portuguese Football League, Loureiro, resigned to protest against an alleged preference given to FC Porto.

In 2012 he took part with the Olympic team at the Olympic Games in London , where Brazil wanted to win the gold medal for the first time. In the final, however, Brazil had to admit defeat to the Mexican team 1: 2 . Hulk appeared in five out of six games and scored the goal for Brazil in stoppage time in the final.
