Journalist Venê Casagrande revealed the initial information that São Paulo is interested in signing 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder Allan. Allan is not regularly selected at Flamengo under coach Filipe Luís. The prospect of Allan's departure increased after it was confirmed on Monday that Filipe Luís would be staying, as the player made only 33 appearances last season. São Paulo had been monitoring the coaching situation and now believes its chances of signing the midfielder have improved. Although there are no negotiations between the clubs yet, São Paulo is expected to initiate talks in the coming days. Facing financial difficulties, the club might pursue a loan or a low-cost deal. Allan joined Flamengo in July 2023, and his contract is valid until December 2027. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
