See Allan’s stats, midfielder set to join Corinthians | OneFootball

The Corinthians is very close to announcing another reinforcement for the continuation of the season. It is the midfielder Allan, from Flamengo. The Timão has reached an agreement with the Rio de Janeiro club to have the player on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.

The clubs met last Monday to finalize the transfer. Corinthians will not pay any amount to Flamengo for the loan, but will cover the midfielder's full salary.

After the agreement between the teams, only the medical exams and contract signing remain. At the end of the loan, Timão will still have the purchase priority, but without a fixed price, as reported by Gazeta Esportiva.

Allan's Numbers at Flamengo

Allan was signed by Flamengo in 2023 after a standout stint at Atlético-MG and signed a contract valid until 2027. However, his time at the Rubro-Negro was somewhat lackluster, as he struggled with injuries and couldn't perform at the same level.

In 2024, for example, Allan finished the year as a substitute in the Gávea team, with 40 matches. In 2025, he ended the season affected by plantar fasciitis and played 33 games, losing his place in the team with the arrival of new players and strong competition in midfield.

Even so, the midfielder has positive numbers at Flamengo, but without goals and assists. According to Sofascore data, since joining the Rio de Janeiro club, he played 88 games (46 as a starter), with a 90% pass accuracy rate and 59% completion of long passes, along with 38 key passes.

In defensive terms, according to the statistics platform, the midfielder won 203 duels, recovered 239 balls, made 69 tackles, and performed 194 defensive actions.

2026 Season

In the current season, Allan played only one game for Flamengo and was a starter in the classic against Fluminense, but was substituted at halftime. During the 45 minutes he was on the field, he had an 88% pass accuracy, 42 actions with the ball, recovered one ball, made one tackle, and completed one of four long passes.

Besides Flamengo and Atlético-MG, Allan also has stints with clubs like Fluminense, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hertha Berlin (Germany), Apollon Limassol (Cyprus), Sint Truiden (Belgium), and SJK (Finland).

Midfield Reinforcement

Allan's arrival at Corinthians meets a direct request from Dorival Júnior at Corinthians. The technical staff saw the need to have another defensive midfielder, counting only on Raniele for the position. Carrillo, this season, played the role in the classic against São Paulo.

A reinforcement for the defensive midfielder role became necessary precisely after Maycon's departure, who left Timão and joined Atlético-MG at the beginning of this year.

“Look, first the need to have another man in this sector, which is a role that Raniele, with Maycon's departure, has been working alone, as the only man in the role. We are looking for new options in the market. We have Charles, who also performs this role on the field, but in general, I would like to have a more filled squad, with more options, to seek more distribution,” said the coach after the draw against São Paulo, on January 18.

Initially, Corinthians tried to sign the midfielder Alisson from São Paulo. Timão had reached an agreement with the club and player for a one-year loan, but gave up on the negotiation due to the values involved in the agreement with the rival, considered outside the new reality established by the alvinegro football department, headed by Marcelo Paz.

Corinthians Market

With Allan's arrival, Corinthians remains active in the transfer window and will bring the fifth reinforcement for the current season. So far, Timão has already announced four other signings: defender Gabriel Paulista, midfielder Matheus Pereira, full-back Pedro Milans, and winger Kaio César.

Additionally, the São Paulo club also considers the arrivals of goalkeeper João Ricardo, on loan from Fortaleza, and Moroccan midfielder Zakaria Labyad as certain. Timão has also arranged the contract renewal of left-back Fabrizio Angileri.

The Corinthians board has adopted a policy of signings without major investments, prioritizing free agents or loans. In a severe financial crisis, the Alvinegro does not intend to spend large sums to strengthen the squad.
