About
Allan Andrade Elias, commonly known simply as Allan, is a Brazilian winger and attacking midfielder who plays for Palmeiras. A left-footed attacker with excellent close control and acceleration, he has emerged as one of the most exciting young players developed by the club’s academy.
Allan primarily operates from the right side, where he can receive wide before moving inside onto his stronger left foot. His versatility also allows him to play as an attacking midfielder, central creator or in more advanced wing-back roles depending on Palmeiras’ tactical structure.
After joining Palmeiras from Figueirense in 2019, Allan developed through the club’s highly successful academy and enjoyed an outstanding final season at U20 level. He was permanently promoted to the first team in 2025 and quickly earned significant playing time under Abel Ferreira.
His performances during 2025 and 2026 have attracted considerable interest from major European clubs. Manchester City emerged as a serious suitor in August 2026, with Palmeiras valuing the player significantly above previous approaches from European teams.

Allan has spent the majority of his development career at Palmeiras after joining the club from Figueirense in 2019. His progression through the academy was supported by strong performances across several successful U20 campaigns.
His breakthrough into the first team came in 2025, when he accumulated 54 senior appearances during his debut professional season and established himself as a genuine option for Abel Ferreira.
By August 2026, his performances had generated significant European interest. Manchester City entered negotiations with Palmeiras, while the Brazilian club indicated that it would require a major transfer package to allow him to leave.
Playing profile
Allan is primarily a right winger but can also operate as an attacking midfielder, right-sided midfielder or from the opposite flank. His left foot and ability to move between wide and central areas make him tactically flexible.
One of his defining qualities is his dribbling. Allan is comfortable receiving in isolated one-on-one situations and uses quick touches, changes of direction and acceleration to move past defenders.
When starting from the right, he frequently moves inside onto his stronger left foot. This allows him to combine with central attackers, shoot towards goal or play progressive passes into the penalty area.
He is also comfortable operating deeper than a traditional winger. Allan played centrally during his academy career and can receive possession between the lines, turn under pressure and progress attacks through both passing and carrying.
His development under Abel Ferreira has added greater defensive responsibility to his game. He can operate as an attacking wing-back, contribute to the press and recover into deeper positions when Palmeiras defend without possession.
Allan’s combination of technical quality, versatility and increasing attacking production gives him a profile that could translate well to possession-oriented European football.
