Agent Claudio Vagheggi can see Allan leaving Napoli for a bigger club.

Vagheggi also insists it's time for the midfielder to be called into the Brazil squad.

He told Radio Marte: "Sooner or later the Brazilian national team will have to call him for what he is doing, it would be an important recognition for his career.

"I saw the match against Torino, at the time he entered Allan recovered four balls and Napoli closed the game.

"He is a crucial player for this team, for me he can play in any team, he's a really complete player, he's always more aware of his resources, he always adds something more to his technical background, he's getting into full maturity and many teams would like him.

"There are few players like this, but with Napoli the negotiations are always complicated, he is very happy in Azzurri, he renewed his contract in March, he is respected by everyone in the locker room, they all love him."
