PSG target Allan will remain at Napoli – Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti insisted Allan will not be moving to Paris Saint-Germain, declaring "the matter over" after the midfielder missed Napoli's draw at AC Milan.

Allan was dropped for Saturday's 0-0 Serie A stalemate in Milan amid uncertainty over his future, with French champions PSG reportedly finalising a transfer in excess of €100 million (£87m/$114m).

Ancelotti confirmed post-match that 28-year-old Allan had been contacted by a club regarding a move, noting that it was something that should not have occurred.
