Overview
- Manchester City have moved forward in talks to sign 22‑year‑old Allan Elias from Palmeiras, according to multiple reports published Thursday.
- Palmeiras holds Allan under contract through 2029 and has a reported €100 million release clause that will shape how any transfer is completed.
- The move is being pursued as a direct replacement for Savinho, who is widely expected to join Tottenham and leave a right‑wing vacancy at the Etihad.
- Allan is a fast‑rising Brazilian winger who broke into Palmeiras' first team in 2025, has produced regular goal contributions and won the Bola de Prata Breakthrough Player award.
- If City meet Palmeiras's valuation the transfer would heighten competition for South American talents and alter City’s squad planning, but no agreement has been announced and negotiations remain ongoing.
