Palmeiras' Stance on Allan Elias Cleared Up After Liverpool Links by Brazilian Media

Recent speculation linking Palmeiras midfielder Allan Elias to Liverpool has been clarified by Brazilian media, revealing no advanced deal exists despite initial excitement.[1][3]

Allan Andrade Elias, a 21-year-old versatile talent from Palmeiras' academy, has emerged as a standout performer. Described as the "new Harvey Elliott" by some journalists, he excels on the right wing, both flanks, as an attacking midfielder, or centrally. Strong, fast, skillful, and tactically mature, Allan shone in late 2025, impressing with his off-ball work despite modest goal tallies (three in 21 league games).[2][3]

Brazilian reports initially claimed Liverpool were closing in on a transfer, with talks progressing for the "meteoric" talent. This follows Palmeiras' sales of stars like Endrick, Vitor Reis, and Estevao Willian, fueling expectations amid the club's £57m player sales target for 2026. A £30m-£35m fee was rumored, though Palmeiras rejected a £35m Napoli bid, signaling they're not letting him go cheaply.[2][5]

However, iG Esporte and other outlets have poured cold water on the hype: there is no agreement between Palmeiras and Liverpool. Claims of nearing completion were overstated, with European clubs circling but no concrete progress. Liverpool, sixth in the Premier League under Arne Slot and eyeing Champions League spots, see Allan as a potential Mohamed Salah successor for pace and dynamism on the right.[3]

Palmeiras' stance is firm—they value Allan highly as part of Abel Ferreira's squad but anticipate his exit given financial plans. Fans buzz at another Brazilian prospect, especially after successes like Murillo, but landing him won't be straightforward or inexpensive. As Liverpool face Nottingham Forest, transfer rumors persist, though reality lags behind the headlines.[1][2][3]
