Everton have been linked with the Brazilian midfielder Allan for a while now.
The 29-year-old has fallen out of favour at Napoli and he is expected to leave the Italian giants this summer. He has worked with Carlo Ancelotti before and the Everton boss seems keen on a reunion.
It will be interesting to see if Everton can wrap up the transfer in the coming weeks.
As per Il Napolista (via Sportwitness), Everton have now submitted an improved bid for the midfielder which is worth around €38m. Their initial offer was around €25m, which has been turned down.
