Softfootball understands that Manchester City are closing in on a deal to sign Allan from Palmeiras after making significant progress in negotiations last night.
Talks between City and the Brazilian club have advanced over a potential package worth around €40 million, with both parties increasingly confident that an agreement can be reached.
The 22-year-old winger has emerged as Manchester City’s main option to replace Savinho, who is set to leave the club this summer. City had already established contact with Palmeiras to discuss Allan’s valuation before negotiations accelerated.
Allan’s pace, directness and ability to operate in attacking positions have attracted City’s attention as they look to maintain depth on the wings.
Further negotiations are expected as the clubs work on the final details of the transfer. However, the progress made over the past 24 hours represents a major step forward.
If an agreement is finalized around the €40 million mark, Allan would arrive at the Etihad as City’s preferred replacement for Savinho and another important addition to their attacking options ahead of the new season.
