Allan Elias Receives Palmeiras Farewell
Allan Elias was the focus of an emotional Palmeiras farewell before the club’s match against Santos on Wednesday 26 August. President Leila Pereira and youth coordinator JP Sampaio presented him with a plaque, while supporters inside Nubank Parque rose to applaud him.
He said goodbye to supporters, team-mates and staff.
Manchester City Move Enters Its Final Steps
Manchester City have moved into the final stages of their deal for Allan Elias, with the transfer understood to be worth up to £34.2m. The structure reportedly includes a guaranteed £32m and a further £2.2m in add-ons, while Allan was expected to travel to England on Thursday after saying his goodbyes to the Palmeiras squad and staff.
With a medical planned in the coming days, the move is nearing completion but is not yet fully finalised. Savinho’s possible departure offers some context as to why City are pushing for another Brazilian winger, though Allan has not been confirmed as a direct replacement.
The Next Stage After Eight Years at Palmeiras
Allan joined Palmeiras’ youth set-up in 2019 and made his senior debut in January 2025, so this farewell marks the end of an eight-year journey at the club.
Palmeiras have continued to rely on Allan this month, underlining his importance right up to the brink of his transfer. He played 71 minutes and supplied an assist in the 4-1 Série A win over Vasco da Gama on 23 August, highlighting the qualities that have made him such an attractive young prospect. If the remaining steps go to plan, he should complete his move to Manchester City very soon.
