Vasco eyeing move for Flamengo midfielder | OneFootball

In search of strengthening the midfield for the continuation of the season, Vasco da Gama has entered the race to sign midfielder Allan, currently at Flamengo. The information was reported by ESPN, which revealed Vasco's interest in an experienced player with a recent history of prominence in Brazilian football.

Allan's name emerges as a market opportunity, as the athlete is not in the plans of the Flamengo coaching staff, despite having a contract until December 2027.

Vasco bets on Fernando Diniz to advance for Allan

Vasco's management is initially working with the possibility of a loan valid for one season, a model considered viable internally. For this, the club is betting on the good relationship between Allan and coach Fernando Diniz, a factor seen as crucial for advancing the talks.

Diniz has already made direct contact with the player to understand the situation and assess the willingness for a possible change of scenery within Rio de Janeiro. Both worked together at Fluminense in 2019, a period during which Allan experienced one of his best phases in his career.

Another point that could facilitate the deal is the fact that Allan is represented by Giuliano Bertolucci, the same agent as Fernando Diniz, as well as Brenner and Cuiabano, players recently involved in negotiations with Vasco. The close relationship between the parties is seen internally as a factor that could unlock conversations and speed up a potential agreement.

Allan was previously targeted by Corinthians and São Paulo

Before Vasco's interest, Allan was on the radar of Corinthians and São Paulo, who sought information and even made inquiries in recent weeks. However, the approaches did not progress, leaving the midfielder's future at Flamengo uncertain.

At 28 years old, Allan is seen in the market as a player with intensity, good ball distribution, and experience in decisive matches—characteristics that appeal to Vasco's coaching staff, which continues to monitor the market in search of an impactful name for the sector.
