According to a report in The Daily Mail, the Zenit forward wants a move to Stamford Bridge but has asked for negotiations to be postponed until after after the Confederations Cup.
The 26-year-old is on international duty with Brazil. The Confederations Cup, which is being hosted by Brazil, runs from 15 to 30 June. He is also a target for the French club, Monaco, but wants his club to accept Chelsea's 34.9 million pounds offer.
"If I said there wasn't anything in it, I would be lying," he said. "But that is not for now. At the moment, I am 100 per cent focused on Brazil and I hope to be a Confederations Cup winner with my country. Other matters will have to wait until afterwards."
Hulk moved from FC Porto to Zenit Saint Petersburg in September 2012 for a reported 51 million pounds after helping the Portuguese giants win the league title three times and the Europa League crown.
Hulk has been a long-standing target for Chelsea, and came close to joining the EPL club last summer from Porto before his move to Zenit.
