“Be a massive signing if true”, “Get it done” – Lots of Everton fans buzz as £45m star is linked
Plenty of Everton fans have flocked to Twitter to discuss a reported transfer target this week.
According to Nicolo Schira, the Toffees have held talks with Napoli midfielder Allan over a potential reunion with Carlo Ancelotti in Merseyside, although they face competition from Atletico Madrid, too.
Talks continue between #Everton and #Napoli for the brazilian midfielder #Allan. He is the first choice for #Toffees manager Carlo #Ancelotti. Also #AtleticoMadrid have asked info for Allan in the last days. #transfers #EFC

Last month, similar reports broke claiming the Serie A club were looking for €50m (£45m) but could accept a lower €40m (£36m) offer given the financial situation across football post-pandemic.
Allan could well be the defensive midfielder that the Merseysiders are crying out for and Ancelotti, of course, knows him well.
Should Everton sign Allan this summer?
Per WhoScored, the 29-year-old has averaged 2.9 tackles, 1 dribble and 0.6 key passes per game this campaign, which includes appearances in the Champions League.
And many at Goodison Park are drooling over the prospect of signing him claiming it would be “massive” and “boss” if they were able to clinch him whilst one supporter believes he would be better than all the other options in midfield.
Here’s how the rest of the Everton faithful reacted…
Hopefully we can sign him, miles better than what we’ve got at the moment

This would be a top signing. Our centre mids haven't put a tackle in for 3 games https://t.co/ErqlRrhQLk

He looks so athletic and fit still gets about the pitch like a 21 year old age is just a number mate

We need an older head in midfield anyway, get rid of Delph too hopefully.
