According to Bolavip's Romario Junior, Newcastle United is getting ready to make a deal for Palmeiras midfielder Allan Elias while the Brazilian team awaits official offers from Europe.
After breaking into the first team earlier this year, Allan has become one of Palmeiras' most impressive young players. Despite playing a limited role, he has made 48 appearances and contributed eight goals.
According to Bolavip Brasil, Allan is one of Palmeiras' important players for the current campaign, and Newcastle wants to sign a deal with them right now.
Junior wrote, "Newcastle wants to sign Allan, the team's star striker, with Palmeiras as soon as possible." "To release one of its main players from the current season, Palmairas plans to play hardball."
Under Abel Ferreira, Allan, who advanced swiftly through the Palmeiras system, is anticipated to have a more significant role. Numerous prominent European teams have expressed interest in him due to his performances and potential; therefore, Palmeiras is bracing for a flurry of bids.
Regarding Allan's future, Junior stated, "Offers are expected to emerge very soon." Newcastle is one of the Premier League teams prepared to make an investment in his acquisition.
Due to their solid financial standing and a long-term contract that expires at the end of 2029, Palmeiras are not under any pressure to sell. They maintain that Allan will only depart in exchange for a payment comparable to what was obtained for Endrick and Estevao Willian.
The 21-year-old "has similar potential," according to management, and Palmeiras "only want to sell Allan for a very high price, like their prior transactions," according to Junior.
Allan's versatility and long-term potential are what Newcastle is interested in, as the Club is always looking for high-ceiling talents who can establish themselves in the first squad. Given that the Brazilian team is already playing important football in Tyneside, Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton's presence may also offer assistance if Allan decides to make the switch.

Anthony Elanga's withdrawal from the Sweden team this week and the uncertainty surrounding his availability for this weekend's match against Man City will be devastating to Newcastle United supporters.
The summer acquisition has had a difficult start at Newcastle United, failing to garner game time in recent weeks and failing to make the expected impression on the field.
Despite his evident skill, Anthony Elanga has not yet found his footing at Newcastle. However, this most recent development is all the more upsetting because Elanga has been a bright spot for Sweden throughout this international break.
Due to his early return to Newcastle, he will not be playing against Slovenia on Tuesday night as planned.
According to a press release from the Swedish national team (via Fotboll Skanalen), press manager Petra Thorén stated that Elanga had to leave international duty on Monday for "private reasons."
Elanga has withdrawn from Sweden duty twice for the same reason, the first time being in June of this year.
What specifically has happened to Elanga at this time, and how serious the situation is, are unknown. It is unclear if this will affect Eddie Howe's selection on Saturday, but it certainly does not seem good for Elanga's possible participation.
Elanga has stated that momentum is essential to his success at Newcastle, so it would be quite upsetting if he could not play after Sweden's strong showing over the weekend.
The fact that Elanga played on the left wing for Sweden rather than the right wing has been one of the main topics of discussion this week. It goes without saying that some have said he should now play for Newcastle.
We thought Elanga might fill that position in our projected starting lineup for Newcastle vs. Man City on Saturday. Even though that location is now in danger, Howe should still consider it going forward.
Given that results have not been going his way, the Newcastle manager needs to try new approaches, and someone like Elanga must contribute to that new approach.
He is a dynamic player with the ability to create things, and Newcastle is sorely lacking in that right now, particularly with Anthony Gordon out. Elanga must participate if he is free this weekend. Howe should bring him in as soon as possible if he is unavailable.

As Thomas Tuchel's team finished their World Cup qualifying campaign with a perfect record, England had to exercise patience to break the impasse against Albania on Sunday.
After defeating Albania 2-0 yesterday night, the Three Lions advanced to the top of the group with a maximum of 24 points, 22 goals for, and 0 against. Those statistics are hard not to be impressed by.
Thomas Tuchel has experimented to establish his ideal starting lineup, so it has not always been an enjoyable watch, but what counts is that he is doing the job.
Dan Burn, the sole England representative still playing for Newcastle United, played the entire game last night but never really got going, and the national media's ratings showed that.
"He has done the best he can for Newcastle." Carra thinks Howe is disappointed.
Dan Burn struggled against Albania on Sunday, according to the national media. While his defending wasn't heavily criticised, there is concern about his ability with the ball. Even in ITV's highlights, Burn made a surprising mistake that gave Albania a great chance.
Burn received a rating of 5 out of 10 from The Standard, The Telegraph, The Express, and GOAL. They noted that the big man faced challenges.
His performance was described as difficult at times, especially after Albania started strongly in the second half. This showed why he is more suited to being a squad player than a starter.
This week, Dan Burn has a weekend off. Having played a lot for both club and country this season, he is likely feeling tired by now.
Fortunately, he gets this weekend off because he received a red card against Brentford and will be suspended for Newcastle's match against Manchester City.
Fans have been calling for more speed down the left side to support Anthony Gordon. As Lewis Hall returns to full fitness, he will likely start
