Allan earns star wages at São Paulo, forgotten at Flamengo | OneFootball

It’s no surprise that São Paulo is monitoring the situation of midfielder Allan from Flamengo. AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR already reported at the beginning of the month the club’s interest in the player, who currently has no place in the Rio team.

This Sunday (28), journalist Venê Casagrande reinforced the situation but reported that a new problem is hindering the decision about Allan’s future: whether or not Felipe Luís will remain in charge of the current national champions.

If Felipe stays, Allan, who had few opportunities in the 2025 season under the coach, will look for a new direction. If there’s a change in management, the midfielder still hopes to remain at Flamengo.

The negotiation, however, faces other obstacles. According to journalist Jorge Nicola, the Flamengo player earns more than R$ 1 million per month, something São Paulo cannot even consider.

This is the salary standard that only São Paulo’s biggest stars receive this year, such as Oscar, Calleri, and Lucas.

Another factor against him is his playing time this season. He played 33 matches, but only started in 18, and had very few appearances in the second half of 2025.

And this isn’t new—since 2023, when he moved from Atlético-MG to Flamengo, he has never managed to secure a spot in the starting lineup and has always been just an option, regardless of the different coaches who have managed the red-and-black team.

São Paulo approached Fla at the beginning of December to inquire about the player’s situation and conditions, but there is competition. According to Jorge Nicola, Santos, Corinthians, and Grêmio—other clubs also facing complicated financial situations—have also made inquiries to the Gávea club.

Allan was signed for 8 million euros (about R$ 50.5 million at the time) by Flamengo from Atlético-MG, with a contract valid until December 2027.

The situation for São Paulo is quite complicated, since the Rio club intends to recover a good part of the amount invested in the player. And as we know, the Morumbi club doesn’t have that kind of money. A possible swap or loan deal are the options for São Paulo.

If the sidelined midfielder were to accept a drastic pay cut, São Paulo could try to propose a loan deal with a fixed purchase option for the player. But it seems like another negotiation that won’t move forward for São Paulo. In 2025, Allan played 33 games, with no goals or assists recorded for his team.
