Everton are yet to formally announce the departure of the Brazilian. But it now appears certain that Allan's two-year stint on Merseyside has come to an end. He made 57 appearances after being signed by Carlo Ancelotti from Napoli in 2020 for around £21m.
The 31-yar-old was a key figure inAncelotti’s time as Everton manager, but things were different when Frank Lampard came to the club. Allan failed to make a single appearance this season, with his last competitive outing coming as a late cameo against Watford in May.
