Supporters of Everton have reacted to the transfer rumours linking Napoli’s Allan with a summer move to Goodison Park.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Sport Witness, the Toffees are planning a major summer rebuild and the Brazilian middleman is a ‘dream’ target (via Toffee TV), which had some fans in disbelief.

Would Everton be able to tempt Allan to Goodison Park in the summer?Yes, we could manage itNo, seems a bit of a stretch |
During this season, the defensive-minded midfielder, who is valued at £45 million (Transfermarkt), has featured in 20 games for his Serie A club in all competitions, in which he has scored one goal and has one assist (as per Transfermarkt).
With a 6.82/10 average rating for this term (as per WhoScored), that was enough to persuade some Everton fans that they were desperate for the 29-year-old to arrive in Merseyside.
WEEEE NEEEED IT

Give Carlo everything he needs. Couldn’t care if he sold most of these players. Let him build

If the price is right, I couldn’t care less personally. We’ve tried the heavily dependent on youth approach and so far its not worked.

What do we think?
While this one seems a bit of a stretch to see Napoli letting him go or Everton being able to tempt him in, it would be a superb signing if the Toffees could pull it off.
With Ancelotti and the Brazilian having worked together before (per Sky Sports), that may prove pivotal if the pair had a strong working relationship.
