Everton are pushing Napoli to drop their asking price for Allan.
The Brazil midfielder is a top target for Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti and is keen to make the move to Merseyside.
Everton rate Allan in the £30m class, which is £5m less than what Napoli are demanding to sell.
However, with Allan making it clear his priority is to move to Goodison Park, Napoli may be forced to compromise over their valuation.
And having coughed up €50m to land Victor Osimhem from Lille, the Azzurri are in need to sell.
