Newcastle United could have the chance of signing Napoli midfield dynamo Allan for a greatly discounted price, according to reports in Italy.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a move for the Brazilian since April and have joined the race for his signature once the 2019/20 campaign draws to a close, as per Area Napoli.

Allan’s contract with Gli Azzurri does not expire until 2023 and is still considered as an integral part of Gennaro Gattuso’s side, despite the previous comments that he made about him.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, this remarks from the Italian tactician could be the reason why his club could consider vastly reduced offers for the Brazil international, with Everton and Atletico Madrid interested in securing his services.

Gattuso is not the sort of chap that likes to keep his feeling to himself. The motor-mouthed, flamboyant manager previously told Goal that he did not like the way that Allan trained due to his lack of intensity, which led to him being dropped for an important Serie A match against Cagliari.

Should Newcastle look to sign Allan?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Since his public humiliation, Allan has only played 14 games under Gattuso’s watch, which raises questions that his future might not be in southern Italy.

Sure, this would depend on whether our £300m deal is given the green light by the Premier League. But with The Guardian suggesting that the deal has been thrown into doubt, it is unknown what the current stance is.

Deals such as these will depend on whether retail tycoon Mike Ashley leaves the club, which we all hope. But in the meantime, we will have to be patient as fans and see what happens.
