Already very good under Maurizio Sarri, Allan’s role in Napoli’s team has become even more important ever since Carlo Ancelotti took over.
Showcasing his ability in midfield with some great performances since the start of the season both in the league and in the Champions League, the Brazilian has finally managed to earn himself a call up to his national team.
Not only that, but he’s also ended up on Pep Guardiola’s Christmas wishlist if Calciomercato are to be believed, as they claim that Manchester City have ‘asked for information’ over the past few weeks, which makes sense, as the club will, at some point, have to move on from Fernandinho.
Now the ‘object of desire’ of many big teams, the 27-year-old is also an alleged target for Chelsea, which would make sense since his former manager took over at Stamford Bridge over the summer.
Regardless of the Blues’ or Manchester City’s interest, the Italian website state Napoli aren’t open to a transfer at any price, unwilling to consider any offers for his services.
Signing Allan to a new five-year contract in the spring, the Serie A club currently hold all of the bargaining power, at least this season.
Next summer could be very different, but an exit to Manchester City in January appears extremely, and we mean extremely, unlikely.
