A lot of clubs are interested in Napoli’s Allan but it appears Everton might have won the race to sign the midfielder.

Reports from Italy are claiming Allan is all but set to join Everton.

Napoli reportedly put the midfielder for sale and a lot of clubs have shown interest of late. Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund were some of the clubs keen on the 29-year-old. The Spanish side were even willing to cough out €40m for the Brazilian.

But it appears English side Everton might be the ones getting Allan.

Corriere dello Sport claim that the midfielder is happy to reject other offers to join Everton. The lure of a reunion with Carlo Ancelotti is something he can’t resist.

It’s believed a deal can be done for €30m plus bonuses. The report claims Napoli dropped their €40m asking price for Allan to €35m in order to get the deal done quickly.

With the bonuses and add-ons, Everton are now expected to match that fee with ease.

If the report is anything to go by, the Toffees could wrap it all up and even sign Allan by the end of the week.
