A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to a tweet from NUFC 360, which has relayed quotes made by Area Napoli.
They claim that the Toon will spend huge sums in the transfer market, and one target they have in mind is Napoli’s Allan.
The report states that Newcastle would be willing to pay the asking price, and this news has excited these Toon fans.
Would you want Newcastle to sign Allan if the takeover happens?
Yes
No
#NUFC are ready to spend huge sums in the transfer market with scouts monitoring the European market. Napoli centre midfielder Allan is one player on their radar, and United would be willing to pay the £40m asking price for him. [Napoli Arena]

40m is a steal but hes not a realistic target. Marc Roca or Cyprien maybe?

What do we think?
The Brazilian international, who has eight caps for his country, averages a 6.75 rating this season in Serie A, and he has scored one goal and provided one assist so far this term.
His 6.75 rating in Serie A would put him in joint ninth place in the Toon’s squad – so would he be worth it if Newcastle decided to sign the 29-year-old?
However, with Newcastle currently in the middle of a proposed takeover, we feel it is unwise to speculate on who they might buy when no official announcement has been made yet.
However, judging by some of these replies, many Newcastle fans would be keen for their club to sign the Napoli midfielder.
