The 29-year-old has been in Italy since 2012 at Udinese and then Napoli, under contract until 2023, but has fallen down the pecking order under Gennaro Gattuso.
Allan had been on the verge of a transfer to PSG 18 months ago, but holding out for a €50m fee saw the move collapse, and his relationship with the club never really recovered.
