The Premier League club will pay a guaranteed £32 million plus potential add-ons of £2.2 million for the player, with a medical to follow shortly. Allan is expected to replace fellow Brazilian Savinho, who is likely to move to Tottenham. Negotiations continue over the possible sale of forward Omar Marmoush to Spurs before the transfer window closes. Newcastle have also shown strong interest in midfielder Nico Gonzalez, who may leave the Etihad.
