Palmeiras has set an astronomical price to release attacking midfielder Allan to Manchester City. The Verdão board is hardening negotiations, demanding around R$ 241 million for the player.
The Palmeiras leadership has decided to adopt an uncompromising stance in the transfer market. Given Manchester City’s strong interest in signing attacking midfielder Allan, the São Paulo club has made it clear that it does not intend to facilitate the departure of one of its key players under the command of Abel Ferreira. The 22-year-old player is seen as a fundamental tactical pillar for the rest of the season.
Behind the scenes, the understanding is that only a financially irresistible offer could force a change in the Verdão’s plans. According to reporting by the M360 Team, the value stipulated by the Verdão is around 40 million euros, equivalent to R$ 241.84 million at the current exchange rate. This amount reflects the player’s increased value and the club’s reluctance to weaken its squad during a decisive period of the year.
The Search for a Replacement in the English Market
The Citizens’ interest becomes more urgent following Savinho’s imminent departure to Tottenham. With negotiations between the English clubs reaching significant figures — around 100 million euros in total, including fixed fees and bonuses — Pep Guardiola’s team has identified Allan as the ideal replacement to fill the gap left on the wing. For the player, the prospect of playing in the Premier League is seen as the definitive leap in his professional career.
History of Negotiations Between the Parties
Although the figures requested by Palmeiras are high, the recent history between the two clubs suggests an open channel for dialogue. The partnership has already yielded significant transactions in the past, such as Gabriel Jesus’s move to Manchester in 2017 and Vitor Reis’s transfer in 2025. Even with this good relationship, the Verdão leadership remains cautious.
The M360 Team assessed the situation:
The Verdão board is aware of the strategic importance of keeping a competitive squad, and any impactful departure will only occur under financial conditions that exceed current market expectations.
The scenario points to the beginning of a long ‘saga’ behind the scenes. While Manchester City evaluates whether to make a greater financial effort to meet the Brazilian club’s demand, Palmeiras remains focused on its upcoming matches. The expectation is that the tension over Allan’s future will drag on until the final moments of the transfer window, keeping fans and analysts on alert regarding the outcome of this multi-million dollar operation.
