Copa Libertadores: Palmeiras Agree to Sell Allan to Manchester City

Palmeiras have reached an agreement to transfer winger Allan to Manchester City for 40 million euros ($46.6 million), a source at the Brazilian club told AFP on Monday.

Allan has been in impressive form this season, scoring one goal and two assists in eight appearances in the Copa Libertadores, with Palmeiras into the quarter finals of the prestigious South American competition.

The transfer is a significant blow to Palmeiras’ chances of retaining Allan’s services for the remainder of the season. The Brazilian club will now focus on finding a suitable replacement for the talented winger.
