Allan’s debut for Manchester City once again put Palmeiras’ transfer deal in the spotlight. The forward scored a goal and provided an assist in the 5-0 rout of Norwich in the English League Cup, but Verdão is still due additional amounts beyond the fixed part of the deal.
The agreement between the clubs was closed at a guaranteed €37.5 million, approximately R$225 million at the exchange rate used at the time. Another €2.5 million, around R$15 million, is tied to the achievement of targets set out in the contract.
That means the transfer could reach a total of €40 million, close to R$240 million.
The additional amount предусмотрed in the deal is up to €2.5 million — approximately R$15 million at the exchange rate used when the sale was completed.
According to information published by ESPN, the bonuses were split into two packages related to Allan’s appearances in Manchester City matches.
Each set of targets would involve 20 matches in which the player was included in the squad. The full details of the contract, however, were not officially disclosed by the clubs.
Therefore, it is not possible to say which competitions are being considered, the deadline for meeting the targets, or the exact moment when each installment will be paid.
There is no information about a specific bonus for a goal or assist. Therefore, Allan’s performance against Norwich does not, by itself, represent a new immediate payment to Palmeiras.
The debut could help toward meeting the targets if the player’s inclusion in the squad is counted among the contractual objectives. Confirmation will depend on the conditions set in the agreement, which are confidential.
Allan started, played 71 minutes, and was directly involved in two goals. The Academy graduate scored and provided an assist on his Manchester City debut, receiving an 8.9 rating from Sofascore.
Before the transfer, Palmeiras held 90% of the player’s economic rights. The other 10% belonged to the player himself.
The reported figures of €37.5 million fixed and €2.5 million in targets represent the gross value of the deal. Since the full contract was not made public, it is not possible to determine from the available information alone whether the announced figures already take into account the distribution of rights or whether deductions will apply to all installments.
If the 90% proportion is also fully applied to the bonuses, Palmeiras’ corresponding share would be up to €2.25 million, approximately R$13.5 million. However, this calculation is a projection and not an amount officially confirmed by the club.
The deal placed Allan among the biggest sales in Palmeiras’ history. The player signed with Manchester City until 2031.
Allan arrived in England with the expectation of joining the first-team squad and was not loaned out after the transfer. His use as a starter in his first official opportunity strengthens the possibility that the forward will rack up the number of matches needed to trigger the bonuses.
The Brazilian wore the No. 37 shirt and left the pitch to applause in the rout over Norwich. Alongside him, Vitor Reis, another player developed by Palmeiras, also started the match.
Manchester City will face Brighton in the next round of the English League Cup. Allan’s presence in the upcoming matches will be important for the club to move closer to receiving the full amount of the targets set in the transfer.
The sale includes up to an additional €2.5 million, approximately R$15 million, subject to the fulfillment of contractual targets.
There is no information about a specific bonus for a goal. The reported targets are said to be related to the player’s appearances in Manchester City matches.
Manchester City agreed to pay €37.5 million fixed plus another €2.5 million in targets, totaling up to €40 million.
