Everton are stepping up their pursuit of Napoli midfielder Allan.

Cronache di Spogliatoio says Everton are willing to offer Napoli midfielder Allan a £100k-per-week wage to secure a transfer to Goodison Park.

The Blues are keen to reunite Allan with Carlo Ancelotti, who worked with the player during his time with the Serie A outfit.

Allan has been tentatively linked with a move to Merseyside in recent weeks, although the Echo understands that transfer dealings at Everton are expected to be dominated by loan and swap deals.

The financial impact caused by the coronavirus pandemic has led to the majority of clubs across Europe having a serious rethink over their respective transfer strategies.
