Liverpool’s approach for Allan is now clearer after fresh details from Brazil, even if no agreement has been reached.
The same source who previously revealed Palmeiras’ stance has now clarified that the €35m (£30m) figure linked to Liverpool would not be entirely fixed. Instead, the English club would look to split the package between a guaranteed amount and performance-based bonuses.
Adding to that, RTI Esporte claim Liverpool are positioning themselves to secure priority in a deal that would only see the 21-year-old move to England after the World Cup.
Palmeiras want long-term upside
Palmeiras are not only focused on the headline number. According to the update, the Brazilian club have asked to retain 20% of Allan’s economic rights in any transfer. Alternatively, they would demand a higher guaranteed fee if Liverpool insist on buying 100% of the player’s rights.
In practical terms, Palmeiras want protection against a future breakout in Europe. They see Allan as one of their most valuable assets and believe his ceiling justifies a share in any onward sale.
The structure being discussed mirrors the deal that took Estêvão to Chelsea, where the player remained in Brazil before moving once contractual conditions were met.
Allan remains under contract until December 2029. As a result, the Brazilian side are negotiating from a position of strength. Internally, he is viewed as a key piece in Abel Ferreira’s squad, with significant room for development.
There is also an important personal factor. The rejected move to Italy earlier this year carried weight beyond financial terms. Allan is understood to look positively on the idea of joining a club like Liverpool, which adds a layer of complexity to Palmeiras’ stance.
Where this leaves Liverpool
The report also indicates that Liverpool stepped back at one stage of the talks. However, that pause should not be interpreted as a definitive withdrawal.
At this moment, Allan remains a Palmeiras player. As we covered earlier, there is no agreement in place. Still, the detailed breakdown of Liverpool’s intended structure suggests genuine groundwork has been done.
In that context, securing preference could prove decisive. European competition remains a risk, and Palmeiras are determined to maximise value.
If the Reds return with improved guarantees – or accept a model closer to Palmeiras’ sell-on demand – negotiations could quickly regain momentum. Until then, both sides hold firm positions, with interest alive but no deal concluded.
