Arne Slot’s Liverpool are all set to rival Newcastle United in their pursuit of Palmeiras attacking sensation Allan.
Allan’s impressive rise at Palmeiras hasn’t gone unnoticed. His performances at the 2026 Campeonato Paulista have resulted in interest from clubs across Europe. According to a report from SportsBoom, Liverpool and Newcastle United are two clubs that are keen on his signature.
Both Premier League outfits are all set to battle it out for his signature. Allan has been a part of the Palmeiras setup since 2019. He has gone up the ranks at some pace and was promoted to the first team at the start of 2025.
Since getting promoted to the senior side, he has been involved in a total of 64 matches and has even contributed towards 11 goals. The 21-year-old winger has been on fire in the Campeonato Paulista, and it has resulted in a lot of attention.
While his contract runs until the summer of 2029, Allan is unlikely to stay in Brazil for long, with clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle ready to prise him away. There are other top clubs that are also keen on his signature. But as things stand, the Premier League duo are front-runners for his signature.
Premier League duo to battle for Allan
His strong physical presence and tactical versatility have impressed scouts from England, who were in the stands to watch him in action against Vitoria in January and the Corinthians derby in February. Palmeiras are in no rush to negotiate his departure, but they would be open to a potential transfer for around €30–€35 million for a player who is protected by a €100 million release clause.
The Brazilian outfit want a figure similar to what they had received for Endrick & Estevao. The Magpies are keen on bolstering their attack. They seek more quality on the flanks and are ready to put forward an offer very close to Palmeiras’ asking price, as they seek a pre-agreement.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are ready to rival them. The Reds are looking for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah and feel Allan could help their cause. As a result, they are ready to go all out for his signature. Their scouts have given him a perfect rating when it comes to the ability to distribute the ball under high pressure.
Allan reportedly has everything needed to succeed in the English top flight, and the Reds want to ensure they snap him up before rival clubs make things difficult.
