Reported Tottenham Hotspur target Allan is going nowhere this month it seems.
Speaking to Goal.com, Carlo Ancelotti has dashed any hope of reported Tottenham Hotspur target Allan leaving Napoli in January.
Calcio Napoli 24 reported back in November that Tottenham were weighing up a £35 million move for the Brazilian midfielder.
But that figure wouldn’t be anywhere near enough now after Corriero dello Sport claimed that Paris Saint-Germain had seen a massive £72 million offer knocked back by the Italian side.
Spurs certainly need somebody of Allan’s ilk but the Italian coach made his thoughts on the subject perfectly clear.
“They have nothing, Allan is our player,” Ancelotti told Goal.com when quizzed about PSG’s reported interest. “We don’t need to discuss anything with the president, because there are no big moves on the horizon.
“I hope the transfer window closes soon so we can all focus on our football.
“I have never been concerned about losing Allan, because he had a fantastic first half of the season and we hope he’ll do even better for us going forward.”
Mousa Dembele is on the brink of securing a big-money move to China [Football London] and Tottenham will need to replace him.
And the 28-year-old would be perfect if Spurs could somehow get it done. Allan has the power, passing and acceleration to be the North Londoners’ next Dembele but with PSG in the race, do they have the financial power to rival the French giants? Probably not.
