Mixed reports suggest that Everton have improved their previous offer for Allan from Carlo Ancelotti's former club, Napoli, and their chances of landing him are supposedly ‘becoming a reality'.

It's claimed that the Blues have now submitted a bid of €38m (£35m) after having an earlier €25m (£23m) bid rejected back in May.

The reports further suggest that personal terms have been agreed with the Brazilian midfield star, who is set to be paid £4.3m per year (or £82k per week) for his services. He is seen as a replacement for Idrissa Gueye, who was sorely missed by Everton since he joined PSG last summer.

Although now 29 years old, Allan still shows good tackling ability and passing accuracy, albeit in a somewhat better footballing side than the one he would be joining.

The Brazil head coach Tite, has said of him: “Allan is good in transition, going box to box, leading counterattacks and breaks. He's mobile and brings protection defensively.” — all wonderful things Everton are crying out for, but no reliable sources are yet carrying this story.
