STATUS: REPORTED AGREEMENT — Reuters, citing BBC and Sky Sports reports, together with The Guardian reported on 24–25 August 2026 that Manchester City and Palmeiras have reached an agreement for Allan Elias. The reported package is €37.5 million guaranteed plus €2.5 million in add-ons, approximately £34 million in total.
Allan, 22, operates mainly as a winger but can also play as an attacking midfielder. The figures cited in the reports credit him with 96 senior appearances for Palmeiras, scoring nine goals and providing 12 assists. He developed in the Brazilian club's academy and became a regular first-team player during 2025.
The reports say the player is expected to miss Palmeiras's Copa do Brasil tie against Santos as he prepares for the move. That detail indicates that the process is advanced, but it does not replace an official announcement from the clubs.
Manchester City are reshaping their attacking options, and Allan's potential arrival has been linked in the reporting with Savinho's expected move to Tottenham. Each deal must nevertheless be assessed separately, and neither should be described as completed before the relevant club confirms it.
What remains unconfirmed: completion of a medical, the duration and personal terms of the contract, the precise add-on structure, registration and a Manchester City presentation. Until then, ON MEDIA.AL keeps the story under “reported agreement”, not “official”.
