Newcastle take major step to steal midfielder from under Liverpool | OneFootball

Allan: Situation Summary

Performance and Tactical Versatility

A left-footed academy graduate, Allan primarily operates as a right winger but has demonstrated the versatility to play across the midfield. In the early stages of the 2026 season, he has recorded two goals in the Campeonato Paulista and Serie A. Known for his elite dribbling and ball circulation under pressure, he has become a mainstay in Abel Ferreira’s side following the departures of Endrick and Estêvão.

Transfer Speculation and Club Stance

Liverpool and Newcastle United are reportedly leading the race for his signature, with scouts reportedly giving him "perfect" ratings for his tactical intelligence. While his contract runs until December 2029 with a €100 million release clause, Palmeiras are said to be holding out for a fee in the region of €30m–€35m. Despite the heavy interest, club president Leila Pereira has recently reiterated that Palmeiras intends to keep Allan for the 2026 FIFA Club World Cup.
